Reserva

1964 Rioja Tempranillo, Grenache Noir, Carignan

Vina Albina Reserva is a classic expression of Rioja, showcasing a beautiful red hue that reflects its rich heritage. This wine is medium-bodied, offering a delightful balance that makes each sip both satisfying and elegant. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's overall freshness while complementing its layered flavor profile. Notable tannins provide structure without overpowering the fruit, which displays a prominent intensity that hints at dark berries and ripe cherries, mingling with subtle earthy undertones. This wine is impeccably dry, allowing the intricate flavors to shine through and making it a consummate choice for those seeking a sophisticated Spanish wine experience.

If you want to understand Spain, pour yourself a glass of Rioja. This historic northern region produces some of the country's most famous wines, typically mature, savory reds that go majestically with roast lamb. Rioja's vineyards trace the flow of the Ebro River through a valley protected by the nearby Cantabrian Mountains. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano are the key red grapes, with Viura leading the white grapes. There are three main classifications of red wines: Gran Reserva (aged for five years, at least two in barrel), Reserva (aged for three years, one in barrel), and Crianza (aged for two years, one in barrel). Other wines can be young and unoaked—an increasingly popular style that shows off Rioja's modern face.
