Descripción
Viña Ardanza Reserva es una de las cumbres, no solo del vino riojano o español, es todo un emblema a nivel internacional. Con cada añada ha conseguido convencer tanto a crítica como a público. Su ya clásico coupage de Tempranillo y Garnacha es puro equilibrio y sedosidad. Con una crianza de 36 meses para la Tempranillo y de 30 para la Garnacha, La Rioja Alta, S.A. consigue una vez más un tinto con una completa paleta de aromas y sabores hecho con el único objetivo de satisfacer las necesidades de quien lo prueba.

Opinión de los críticos
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. - Luis Gutiérrez.
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.
Huge tropical fruit, coconut, vanilla spice and black fruit aromatics with a superbly concentrated palate and long, grippy, velvety finish. Superb!

Excelente RPC. Siempre ha sido de mis Riojanos favoritos. Todos los de La Rioja Alta los tengo en mi lista de preferidos.
Nunca falla.
