La Rioja Alta S.A. Vina Alberdi Reserva (2020)

Founded in 1890 by five families committed to craftsmanship and long aging, La Rioja Alta stands today as one of Rioja’s most iconic traditional wineries. Rooted in Rioja Alta, the estate has earned a global reputation for wines that balance elegance, maturity, and vibrant fruit—bottles that feel timeless yet impeccably made. Their philosophy blends heritage techniques such as in‑house cooperage, manual racking, and extended aging with modern precision, resulting in wines that consistently rank among the region’s finest.

Intense and brilliant garnet color with a vivid ruby rim. On the nose, it stands out for its high intensity, with notes of red fruits—raspberries, wild strawberries, and redcurrants— wrapped in a marked balsamic aroma of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is long, balanced, and fresh, with fine and silky tannins. A long finish, where the initial balsamic and fresh red fruit aromas characteristic of Viña Alberdi reappear.

Viña Alberdi is characterised by a notable food-pairing versatility. It is an ideal companion to appetisers, snacks and barbecues, perfect with rice, pastas and stews, and great with lightly-grilled meat and fish.
