Viña Ardanza Reserva 2016 is an icon of La Rioja, crafted by La Rioja Alta, S.A. Since its first harvest in 1942, it has been the highest expression of the classic Rioja style, combining the elegance of Tempranillo with the freshness of Garnacha. The 2016 vintage stands out for its depth and balance, thanks to the long aging in American oak barrels. It offers a perfect integration of fruit and wood, resulting in a refined and complex wine with extraordinary aging potential in bottle. On the nose, aromas of cherry, raspberry, licorice, clove, and balsamic notes are perceived, while on the palate it is broad and balanced, with silky tannins and a long, spicy finish. This wine is an excellent companion for roasted lamb, red meats, and aged cheeses, ideally served between 16 and 17 °C, offering a high-quality sensory experience.
