Their young and fresh red 2018 Viña Alberdi, already a Reserva (Crianza in Spain), matured in oak barrel for two years—in new barrels for the first year and in used barrels for the second year. During the élevage, they racked the wine manually from barrel to barrel four times. 2018 was a year of lower alcohol and more freshness in the wines, and they thought the wines were not designed for the long haul; so, they didn't produce any other wine, and so the only wine from 2018 IS VIÑA ALBERDI! Which means that all the Tempranillo grapes that were destined for 890, 904 and all the other wines went to this wine. They didn't use the Garnacha (which was sold in bulk). So, this is a super- Viña Alberdi, which shows more Crianza style in this cooler vintage but with very good depth and complexity, perhaps a more modern and fresher style. The wine has a seamless palate and a juicy texture, with more colour than other vintages, more intensity, more fruit... It has grapes from very good vineyards and poor soils that were never destined for this wine. Highly recommendable and very versatile. It has potential to age.

The classic Haro-styled red 2015 Viña Alberdi, sold abroad with the mention of Reserva and in Spain as Crianza, is a good introduction to the house style: balsamic reds with abundant notes of sweet spices and cigar ash, developed aromas of forest floor and a creamy twist making small concessions for a fresher and cleaner profile in the last few years but keeping the classic style. There are notes of ground tobacco and earth, and the palate is seamless and sleek, with polished tannins and a soft mouthfeel.
The wine has plenty of dried fruits and notes of caramel, with incense, smoke, and spice. The palate is quite marked by the élevage of two years in barrel and reveals a medium-bodied wine with an oaky twist on the finish, and the balsamic notes that you find on the nose make a comeback in the finish.

La Rioja Alta S.A. was founded in 1890 by five Riojan and Basque families who shared the same passion for wine. A quality orientated producer, the company remains true to the traditional method of making Rioja - using American oak barrels which are made in their own cooperage, racking by candlelight and only releasing the wines onto the market when they are ready to drink.

The company has 300 hectares of vineyards in the best zones of Rioja. With more than 50,000 casks and 6.4 million bottles stored at any one time, the equivalent of about 8 years sales, La Rioja Alta S.A. is unique in its ability to supply large quantities of fully mature wines of world class quality.

Gran Reserva 890 sits at the top of a range of Rioja including the wineries flagship brand, Viña Ardanza, which since its creation in 1941 is the wine that has earned La Rioja Alta S.A. the most fame and renown.

La Rioja est sans doute la région viticole la plus prestigieuse d'Espagne. Elle est internationalement reconnue pour ses vins de grande qualité, en particulier ses vins rouges raffinés. Située dans le nord de l'Espagne, la région bénéficie d'un climat varié qui va des influences atlantiques, plus fraîches et plus humides, à l'ouest, aux influences méditerranéennes, plus chaudes et plus sèches, à l'est, le fleuve Èbre jouant un rôle crucial dans la modération du climat. Les monts Cantabriques constituent également une barrière contre les conditions météorologiques difficiles venant du nord.

La région est surtout connue pour ses vins rouges robustes, vieillis en fût de chêne, principalement élaborés à partir du cépage Tempranillo, qui constitue l'épine dorsale de la production vinicole de La Rioja. D'autres cépages tels que le grenache, le graciano et le mazuelo (carignan) jouent également un rôle dans les assemblages. Les vins de la Rioja sont classés en plusieurs catégories en fonction de leur processus de vieillissement : Rioja (le plus jeune), Crianza, Reserva et Gran Reserva, les deux derniers nécessitant plusieurs années de vieillissement en fûts de chêne et en bouteilles avant d'être commercialisés.

La Rioja est divisée en trois sous-régions : Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa et Rioja Oriental (anciennement Rioja Baja). Chaque région apporte ses caractéristiques uniques aux vins. La Rioja Alta est connue pour ses vins de style ancien avec un équilibre entre structure et acidité ; la Rioja Alavesa produit des vins corsés et aromatiques grâce à ses sols riches en calcaire ; la Rioja Oriental, plus chaude, produit généralement des vins plus riches et plus intensément colorés.

L'engagement de la région en faveur de la qualité et de la tradition, associé aux innovations dans les techniques de vinification, permet à La Rioja de continuer à produire des vins appréciés dans le monde entier pour leur profondeur, leur complexité et leur longévité. Les paysages pittoresques des collines couvertes de vignes et les bodegas (caves à vin) historiques font également de La Rioja une destination populaire pour l'œnotourisme.
