The reputation — the story that sells at the table
La Rioja Alta is the reference for traditional Rioja Gran Reserva. Gran Reserva 890 is one of Spain's most age-worthy wines. Good BC distribution.
Practice
La Rioja Alta is one of Rioja's founding estates (1890) and the definitive address for the traditional Rioja Gran Reserva style. Their Viña Ardanza Reserva and Gran Reserva 890 / 904 are benchmarks for the Rioja aging hierarchy. The house is committed to long barrel aging in American oak — creating the vanilla-coconut-cedar character that defines classic Rioja.
