Viña Ardanza is a red wine produced by the winery La Rioja Alta, in the D.O Rioja.
The winery was established in 1890 from 5 families from Rioja and the Basque country, they are mainly based in the historic Barrio de la Estación de Haro (La Rioja), although from 1996 they have a winery in Labastida (Álava).
Viña Ardanza is produced from Tempranillo (80%) and Grenache (20%).
The Tempranillo vines are 30 years old and originate from the estates: La Cuesta and Montecillo, located in Fuenmayor and Cenicero (La Rioja Alta). The Grenache vines on the other hand, originate from Tudelilla (La Rioja Baja) planted at 600 meters above sea level.
La harvest is completed by hand and transported in refrigerated containers to better conserve the grapes.
Once in the winery the must is fermented at a controlled temperature for 15 days.
The grape varieties are aged separately. Tempranillo is aged for 36 months in American oak barrels, and Grenache for 30 months also in American oak.
The wine is manually racked, up to at least 6 times before being botted.
This wine is nternationally highly rated, year after year by prestigious critics such as Robert Parker and Wine Spectator.
Viña Ardanza 2015 is a classic red wine. The nose is rich, showcasing the typical aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, coconut, cedar and sweet spices. The palate is creamy and medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Well balanced, vibrant and spicy.
In mouth, it is structured, balanced, with silky tannins and envelopes. The end is a pleasant aftertaste and sophisticated, that fills the mouth of imperishable sensations and that the passage of time will help enhance and round.
Cherry red, middle layer of high, edged orange on the rim of the glass, clean and very bright.
Printing intense and complex nose, with a dominance of ripe fruit notes of underbrush linked with aromas of coconut, cinnamon, leather and snuff.
Quality, elegance, innovation, sentiment, evolution. These are the pillars built by the five families that built this winery in 1890. They have served as the foundations of a way of living, feeling and making quality wines, which continue to evolve with subtleness, as well as a perfect adaptation to the new gastronomic tastes. This is how they started a permanent search for excellence that continues with the same enthusiasm in the 21st century, drawing the best from the wise oenological tradition and combining it with the most modern production technology. Nowadays, the wines from La Rioja Alta are an international reference of great wines, and their brands are present in the best gastronomic circuits of the five continents.
