Garnet red, medium-high depth, with an elegant palette. The nose stands out for its power, a highly-complex blend of spicy and balsamic aromas of sweet liquorice, patisserie, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, coffee and nutmeg, and notes of stewed red fruits. Outstanding balance, pleasant freshness and great structure in the mouth, with supple, round tannins. Very pleasant mouthfeel. An ample aftertaste of spicy notes, sweet liquorice and ripe fruit makes Viña Ardanza 2015 a timeless wine, with tremendous laying-down potential and one of the best vintages of the XXI.

The Tempranillo (78%) comes from 30-year-old
vines in our Cuesta (Cenicero) and Montecillo
(Fuenmayor) vineyards. The Garnacha (22%) is
from La Pedriza in Tudelilla, Rioja Oriental, a
40-hectare estate with unbeatable conditions for
growing this variety.
We started picking in mid-October. We harvested
the grapes manually and took them in refrigerated
vehicles to the winery where, for the first time in
the brand’s history, they underwent our rigorous
optical selection process, examining each and
every berry. Alcoholic fermentation took place
naturally and malolactic fermentation concluded
at the end of the year. In March 2016, the chosen
wines were put in barrels to start aging separately:
the Tempranillo, for 36 months, with six manual
rackings, in American oak barrels averaging 4
years in age; the Garnacha, for 30 months, with
five manual rackings, in American oak barrels
with two and three wines. The final blend was
bottled in September 2019.
