Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant Rioja Reserva from an old and highly respected producer.
The lowdown:
Made from 100% Tempranillo this is a great introduction to the quality and flavour of Rioja. Aged in American oak for 2 years before being bottled it has a bright cherry red colour, strong, elegant aroma of strawberries married with vanilla, cinammon and coconut. In the mouth it's wonderfully smooth and well balanced with a delicate touch of acidity that rounds things off perfectly.
The Producer:
La Rioja Altas headquarters are in Haro, where several other iconic Rioja producers all lie within a radius of a few hundred yards. In a time when many of the regions wineries are making more contemporary wines Rioja Alta themselves remain among the leaders of the more traditional Rioja styles. Unusually among the larger producers they have significant vineyard holdings of their own which means they're not as reliant as others on bought in fruit. They make all their barrels themselves from American oak. Their Reservas, Alberdi, Arana and Ardanza, and Gran Reservas, 904 and 890, are their signature wines, the quality of which underpins their excellent reputation.
When to drink:
Very versatile when it comes to food pairing, rice dishes, pasta, casseroles, and grilled meats and fish all go really well.
