La Rioja Alta, Tempranillo "Viña Alberdi" Rioja Reserva 2018

The wine displays a wonderful rich ruby color, gorgeous aromas of oak, spices and fruit followed by a sensational feel on the palate, with a wonderful smooth texture, clean rich oaky/fruity flavors and a long lingering finish. Ready for consumption on release but will keep for many more years in bottle.

100% Tempranillo from Mayorita, Rebollar, and Bardal vineyards, as well as selected plots in El Palo, Rodezno and Alto del Rey, and Labastida. These vineyards are located at an altitude of 500-600m (1600-2000ft) above sea level, planted in chalky-clay soils more than 40 years ago.

The wine is aged for two years in American oak barrels manufactured in-house; the first year in new oak and the second in barrels averaging three years in age.
