Viña Albina Reserva is one of the most representative wines of Bodegas Riojanas, a historic winery founded in 1890 in Cenicero (Rioja Alta). This wine, embodying traditional Rioja style, is distinguished by its elegance, balance, and a maturation that respects the fruit. Its production is an art combining a traditional blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo, and Graciano from key vineyards in Rioja Alta. These areas allow for balanced ripening and natural acidity, resulting in a complete wine where Tempranillo provides structure and fruit, Mazuelo adds freshness, and Graciano contributes aromatic complexity. The vinification follows a classic approach, starting with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and prolonged macerations to extract color and structure. It then undergoes aging for 24 to 30 months in American oak barrels with periodic racking before careful bottling. This meticulous process is key to defining its refined character and capacity for evolution. Its deep cherry-red color with brick reflections indicates its aging; on the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits like strawberry, cherry, and currant emerge, combined with notes of licorice, vanilla, and a toasted background. On the palate, it presents as a balanced, elegant, and silky wine with polished tannins and pleasant acidity, finishing with persistent spicy and fruity notes. Viña Albina Reserva is perfect for pairing with red meats, roasts, lamb, poultry, or traditional dishes.
