Overview:
On the 10th of July 1890, five families joined together to share their passion for wine and founded La Rioja Alta, S.A in the Haro Station district of Rioja Alta. La Rioja Alta represents the essence of vine-growing culture. Its vines are tenderly cared for on this 473-hectare estate, 360 of which are vineyards planted on limestone soil, in the best parts of Rioja Alta. Tempranillo dominates their vineyards, but in the past few years they have planted Graciano which adds a special personality to their wines, and Garnacha to make Viña Ardanza which is always attractive and elegant.
The 2015 vintage of La Rioja Atla’s iconic Gran Reserva 904 was a milestone. For the first time in its 120-year history, this wine was awarded the producer’s highest praise with the designation ‘Selección Especial’. This is a term reserved for vintages the family believe to be some of the greatest ever made – and 2015 is the first to win that praise for 904.
“The archetype of traditional Rioja […] a top-hole Gran Reserva.”
