2019 Vina Ardanza, Reserva, La Rioja Alta, Rioja, Spain
Considered by the winemaker to be one of the great vintages of the century, the 2019 growing season was one of real balance. This has resulted in a stunning wine, with vibrant red fruit, fine tannins and signature notes of vanilla, tobacco and spice from meticulous ageing in American oak. An age-worthy yet approachable Rioja with real pedigree. 2019 is a very good year — a small crop of powerful and concentrated wines. This is spicy, structured, balanced and powerful in this warm year, reaching the customary 14.5% alcohol while keeping a pH of 3.54 and 5.5 grams of acidity. For them, 2019 mean

2019 is a very good year for them, a small crop of powerful and concentrated wines when they produced all their brands, an exception. This is spicy, structured, balanced and powerful in this warm year, reaching the customary 14.5% alcohol and keeping a pH of 3.54 and 5.5 grams of acidity. For them, 2019 means a change in Ardanza, less spicy (but still quite spicy, with clove, vanilla and tobacco leaves) and with more fresh fruit from the Garnacha. No 2023 or 2024 will be produced either. Drink 2025 - 2038
