Merchant's description
The Viña Ardanza Rioja Reserva has always been a favourite, offering almost incomparable value for money for immediate drinking or cellaring. A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha, the later is key to the Ardanza's structure, aromatics and concentration, and the result is utterly mesmerising. This classic, age-worthy tipple is a sommelier's dream: a perfect balance of character and complexity at a price that can't be beat.
