The Tempranillo (78%) comes from 30-year-old vines and 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.

Description of Viña Ardanza Reserva 2012
Viña Ardanza Reserva 2012 (Garnacha and Tempranillo)
TASTING NOTES:
- View: Outstandingly bright, lively and intense garnet red.
- Nose: 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: Deep flavours with a pleasant acidity and balance, and very polished tannins that enhance the harmonious structure. Complex and elegant after-taste with spicy and balsamic hints. Can be enjoyed right now, but has a long life ahead of it if you choose to age it.

The Winery
La Rioja Alta
On July 10, 1890, five Basque and Rioja-based vine growers created "Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta" in what is known as the Haro Station District. This was the beginning of a fascinating business venture in which the only dream of the five founders was to craft and age high-quality wines.
More about the Winery
Röd med lila kanter. Starka dofter av bär. Ett vin med ganska oljig textur.
Vi tar det med kött . Jag skulle inte ha ätit kött , var inte bra.
