One of the oldest wine collectives in Spain, five Basque and Rioja-based vine growers created "Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta" in July of 1890. A year later the company changed names to La Rioja Alta, and they've been producing classic Spanish wines for over 120 years. Over a century of winemaking experience certainly teaches you something as La Rioja Alta is garnering some incredible press, and Neil Martin from the Wine Advocate has said "Quite simply, these are some of the finest Riojas that can grace your cellar."
"This is a super- Viña Alberdi, which shows more Crianza style in this cooler vintage but with very good depth and complexity, perhaps a more modern and fresher style. The wine has a seamless palate and a juicy texture, with more color than other vintages, more intensity, more fruit... It has grapes from very good vineyards and poor soils that were never destined for this wine. Highly recommendable and very versatile. It has potential to age. They produced a whopping one million bottles of it. It was bottled in March 2021." The Wine Advocate, 92 Points
