Vina Alberdi La Rioja Alta Reserve 750ml - Item Code: 08450
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Vina Alberdi La Rioja Alta Reserve 750ml greets the palate with a vibrant, silky texture that makes it an ideal choice for both festive gatherings and intimate dinners. With an ABV of 13.5%, this Spanish red is crafted in the heart of Rioja from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes, aged in American oak barrels to achieve its signature balance and complexity.
On tasting, you’ll discover layers of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle vanilla interwoven with hints of spice and toasted coconut. These flavors make it a perfect companion for roasted lamb, where its acidity cuts through richness, or alongside Manchego cheese, enhancing the nutty notes while complementing the wine’s smooth finish.
Producer Information: La Rioja Alta
La Rioja Alta is based in the historic wine region of Haro, within Spain’s celebrated Rioja DOCa. Founded in 1890 by five local families, the winery has maintained a strong commitment to traditional winemaking methods while integrating modern techniques for quality enhancement. Their production approach centers on meticulous vineyard management, hand-harvesting, and extended aging in American oak barrels, which imparts signature complexity and elegance to their wines.
Beyond their flagship Tempranillo-based reds, La Rioja Alta produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Garnacha and Graciano. The estate also crafts white wines from Viura and Malvasía grapes under the Lagar de Cervera label in Rías Baixas. Additionally, they own Torre de Oña in Rioja Alavesa and Áster in Ribera del Duero, expanding their offerings with regionally expressive wines. While primarily focused on wine production, La Rioja Alta does not produce spirits or beer; instead, they are recognized for their expertise across multiple Spanish appellations and grape varieties.
