La Rioja Alta’s Viña Alberdi is proof that classic Rioja doesn’t have to be pricey or pretentious. It’s 100% Tempranillo, aged in American oak barrels (some of which the winery makes themselves!), and it hits that perfect Rioja sweet spot—bright cherry fruit, soft tannins, and warm, toasty spice.

The 2020 vintage is especially vibrant: red fruit and dried flowers upfront, with vanilla, coconut, and cedar rounding things out. It’s smooth, medium-bodied, and built for food—grilled meats, paella, roasted mushrooms, even pizza.

Whether you’re a Rioja diehard or just getting into Spanish reds, this is a bottle that always overdelivers. Classic for a reason.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"The younger wine here is the 2020 Viña Alberdi, a versatile version of the Haro reds. It was produced with Tempranillo fermented in stainless steel and matured in American oak barrels for two years (it's sold as Reserva in international markets and Crianza in Spain). It has 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.6 and five grams of acidity. It has a classical nose of ripe fruit, American oak and spices, the subtle notes of forest floor, still young. The palate is velvety and very balanced with polished tannins. Approachable but should also age." -Luis Gutiérrez

Wine Spectator

"Hints of tobacco, smoke and vanilla are a fragrant thread winding through the baked cherry and raspberry fruit, cocoa powder and red licorice notes on display in this lively, harmonious, focused red. Fine, crisp tannins firm the finish."

What importer Skurnik Wines has to say about this wine...

100% Tempranillo from our 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 500-600 metres (1600-2000 ft) above sea level, planted in chalky-clay soils more than 40 years ago. After carefully selecting the grapes to be harvested, we placed the clusters in boxes that we immediately transported to the winery in refrigerated vehicles at a temperature of 14°C (57°F). The Bordeaux model was applied, destemming, crushing and vatting the grapes in tanks, where they underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine was 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. The wine was manually racked four times by the light of a candle. Bottled in June 2017.
