Product Notes

La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza is a spectacular Spanish wine renowned for its balanced taste and multifaceted flavours. A splendid blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes provides its vibrant hue and distinct aroma. The wine boasts a velvety texture with layered notes of ripe red fruit, spicy oak, and rich vanilla. Aged in American oak barrels, it imbues a subtle complexity differentiating it from typical Rioja wines. Its enduring finish communicates elegance, making it a perfect complement to hearty meats and aged cheeses. A robust testament to Spanish viticulture, Viña Ardanza offers a sophisticated experience to both wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers.

Tasting Notes

Intense cherry red color, marking the garnet on the edge of the glass. Of great aromatic power, first of fruity character (cherry, currant, red plum) giving way then to balsamic and spicy notes (pepper, licorice, clove, vanilla, toasted caramel and nutmeg). Fresh and balanced in the mouth, with fine and silky tannins. Ample aftertaste that combines red fruits and spices with a fresh and long character.
