La Rioja Alta's Viña Alberdi Reserva is a 100% Tempranillo from Rioja Alta, aged for two years in American oak. The 2019 vintage offers a classic expression of the region's signature varietal, built for both near-term enjoyment and steady cellaring.
Garnet in the glass, the wine opens with vanilla and ripe plum, underscored by subtle balsamic and caramel notes from its oak treatment. On the palate it's dry and juicy, with polished tannins that flow smoothly rather than grip, the texture is silky and refined, leading to a measured finish. This is a delicate Rioja, more elegant than extractive, with enough structure to drink well now and improve over the next several years.
