✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary La Rioja Alta, S.A., a historic estate founded in 1890 in Haro's famous Barrio de la Estación, Viña Alberdi is a profound tribute to Nicolas Alberdi, a pivotal past president of the winery. Unlike some of its sibling cuvées, Viña Alberdi is traditionally crafted as a 100% Tempranillo, sourced from high-altitude estate vineyards in Rodezno and Labastida. The terroir's clay-limestone soils and Atlantic-influenced climate yield grapes with vibrant acidity and bright red fruit character. True to the estate's uncompromising commitment to traditional methods, the wine undergoes aging for two years in American oak barrels handcrafted in the winery's own cooperage, and is meticulously racked by candlelight every six months to naturally clarify the wine and develop its signature notes of sweet spices, vanilla, and balsamic undertones.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1890 by five visionary Riojan and Basque families in Haro's historic Barrio de la Estación, La Rioja Alta, S.A. stands as one of the most enduring benchmarks of classical Rioja winemaking. Dedicated to uncompromising quality and authentic craftsmanship, the estate maintains its own cooperage to construct custom American oak barrels and continues the traditional practice of manual racking by candlelight. The winery focuses on prime estate vineyards spread across Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental, highlighting Tempranillo seamlessly blended with Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. World-renowned for producing wines of remarkable elegance, silky texture, and astonishing longevity, the bodega's legendary pedigree is epitomized by iconic bottlings such as Gran Reserva 890, Gran Reserva 904, and Viña Ardanza.
