La Rioja Alta is one of the great names in traditional Rioja, and Viña Alberdi is their most approachable Reserva—100% Tempranillo, aged in American oak, and always released with a few years of bottle age. The 2020 vintage brings freshness and lifted fruit, wrapped in the estate’s signature framework of spice, toast, and elegance.

Red cherry, vanilla, tobacco, and dried herbs rise from the glass, while the palate is medium-bodied and effortlessly smooth, with fine tannins and just enough acidity to keep things lively. There’s richness here, but it’s balanced by the polish that comes from extended aging in seasoned barrels—an unmistakable Rioja signature.

The 375ml format makes it ideal for weeknights, solo pours, or pairing with a simple tapas spread, grilled meats, or Manchego cheese. Viña Alberdi 2020 is a gateway to classic Rioja style—accessible, authentic, and endlessly comforting.

"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." -Robert Parker

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.
