La Rioja Alta’s Vina Ardanza 2016 | New Release

La Rioja Alta's Viña Ardanza 2016 is a benchmark wine and a firm favourite of the Goedhuis team. With 6 years' ageing, this delicious wine is ready to be enjoyed now. Even though it is labelled as a ‘Reserva’, it is a ‘Gran Reserva’ in all but name, as it passes all the ageing requirements. Josh Reynolds of The Wine Advocate notes: “Solid value is the rule here, from top to bottom. The entry-level wines are among Rioja’s best values”. We could not agree more at £119.00 per six bottles IB, this new release offers exceptional value.

    The 2016 Viña Ardanza Reserva was produced with 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha that matured in used American oak barrels for three years, where it was hand-racked from barrel to barrel six times in the case of Tempranillo and five times for the Garnacha, as it had a slightly shorter élevage of 30 months. Against all odds, I found the 2016 to be fresher than the 2015 and less developed, despite the fact that winemaker Julio Sáenz told me he considers it a warmer year. But I have found many wines I like in 2016, and the wine feels very clean and quite harmonious, younger and less developed, with more primary notes and a velvety mouthfeel. 600,000 bottles produced. The wine was bottled in June 2020. Drink 2022-2032.

    Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it.
