Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva

$29.98

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.

Description

The good weather throughout the cycle favoured an excellent vegetative and sanitary condition of our grapes. All components were balanced, especially in the fruit from vineyards located at high elevation, in cooler areas and with moderate vigour. Towards the end of the ripening stage, we had days with significant temperature variations, sunny mornings and very cold nights, so maturation was very well-balanced in this final period. The resulting wines stand out for their fresh, Atlantic character, elegant acidity, fruit intensity and balanced, silky tannins. These qualities make them particularly well-suited to ageing.

La Rioja Alta, S.A.

Characterized by a long growing cycle and perfect phenolic ripening. It produced wines with great aromatic intensity and fruit concentration, well-balanced between alcohol and acidity, and highly suitable for long aging.
