The Story
Viña Ardanza is one of the most emblematic and recognized wines of La Rioja Alta, S.A. It was first released in 1942, and its name honors one of the founding families of the winery: the Ardanza family. Since then, it has become a benchmark for Rioja wines worldwide.
It is typically made from Tempranillo, blended with Garnacha from specific vineyards that bring freshness and expressiveness to the wine. Aged in American oak barrels crafted in-house and then in bottle, Viña Ardanza perfectly balances fruit, oak, and elegance.
Produced only in selected vintages, it reflects the philosophy of La Rioja Alta, S.A.: crafting wines with character, balance, and long aging potential. Over the decades, Viña Ardanza has built a reputation as a classic Rioja that combines tradition, quality, and consistency.
The historic frost on April 28 affected some of our estates, but not our vineyards in
Cenicero (Tempranillo) and Tudelilla (Garnacha). Although the quantity produced for this
label was lower than usual, the ripening was perfect, allowing us to produce a Viña
Ardanza with remarkable freshness and a great aging potential due to its strong
polyphenolic content. Fine and elegant. For us, an EXCELLENT vintage, with an internal
rating of 97 points.
