Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019
Description
Viña Ardanza Reserva, c'est un peu le top du top, pas seulement pour les vins de La Rioja et d'Espagne, mais aussi au niveau international. Chaque millésime a su convaincre les critiques et le public. Son coupage désormais classique de Tempranillo et Grenache est tout en équilibre et en douceur. Selon les mots de son créateur, l'œnologue Julio Sáenz, «Un millésime exceptionnel, l'un des meilleurs de notre histoire, pour clôturer une décennie extraordinaire pour Viña Ardanza. »

L'avis des experts
No 2018 was produced, so after the 2017 I tasted last year, we jumped to the 2019 Viña Ardanza Reserva, produced with a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. It fermented destemmed in stainless steel and aged in American oak barrels, 36 months for the Tempranillo and 30 months for Garnacha, and was blended before bottling. 2019 is a very good year for them, a small crop of powerful and concentrated wines when they produced all their brands, an exception. This is spicy, structured, balanced and powerful in this warm year, reaching the customary 14.5% alcohol and keeping a pH of 3.54 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It's still very young and undeveloped, with the classical profile, generous in American oak aromas and flavors that should slowly integrate in the wine with years in bottle. For them, 2019 means a change in Ardanza, less spicy (but still quite spicy, with clove, vanilla and tobacco leaves) and with more fresh fruit from the Garnacha. But the year is a modern version of 2015. 500,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023. No 2023 or 2024 will be produced either.
