"La Rioja Alta has received the highest score for an iconic wine. In the words of Carlos González, director of the publication [Penin Guide], “his 890 represents the greatness of the great classic Riojan wines. Thanks to the work and stubbornness to keep this type of wine alive, houses like La Rioja Alta have managed to make the Grandes Reserva from Rioja shine again as they deserve”.
“This is an example of the traditional wines that made Spain an important place in the production of quality wine and Rioja as the most internationally recognized denomination of origin”, confirms Carlos González. This 2010 vintage is also a superb vintage, with background freshness that will allow this wine to grow with elegance and complexity."
