There are occasions when a word is used so frequently that it ultimately loses its meaning. Such is the case, for instance, with the word special; however, when it appears on the label of a Viña Alberdi it cannot be more true to reality.
It is synonymous with something significant. A red wine that is truly worthy. Thus can be presented Viña Alberdi Selección Especial Reserva 2021, the new vintage of a wine that is only produced when the harvest truly meets the required standards. In fact, they had to wait 20 years to be able to produce this Rioja, which was born between Rodezno and Labastida! Since this does not happen every year, everything about Viña Alberdi Selección Especial Reserva is special: the manual harvesting, the lengthy ageing in barrels, and its vinification process, carried out leisurely, allowing time to work its magic.
What is the result? An elegant, balanced Rioja, bursting with nuances of ripe red fruits, spice notes, vanilla, gentle toastiness, and a smooth, luscious mouthfeel that invites continued sipping.
Because there are wines that are merely enjoyed. And others that, in addition, you know will not be easily repeated. Viña Alberdi Selección Especial Reserva 2021 belongs to the latter. Will you let yourself go without it?
