La Rioja Alta, S.A. Viña Ardanza Reserva 2016

Outstandingly bright, lively and intense garnet red, with an incipient cherry red rim.
The first nose is very intense, with spicy, balsamic and ripe fruit notes. After swirling,
aromas of black pepper, sweet liquorice, nutmeg, coffee, vanilla and cinnamon make
their appearance. Mouth full of flavours, with a pleasant acidity and balance, and very
polished tannins that enhance the harmonious structure. Complex and elegant aftertaste with spicy and balsamic hints. To enjoy right now, but with a long life ahead.

The Tempranillo (78%) comes from 30-year-old
vines in our Cuesta (Cenicero) and Montecillo
(Fuenmayor) vineyards. The Garnacha (22%)
comes from La Pedriza vineyard in Tudelilla
(Rioja Oriental). This 70 hectare property offers
unbeatable conditions for growing this variety. Its
nutrient-poor soil, covered with boulders, results
in great varietal typicity, rich in aromas, with a
pleasant, elegant structure
