Der Viña Ardanza 2000 ist die klassische Rioja - Reserva schlechthin, es dürfte kaum ein besseres Restaurant in Spanien geben, dass diesen Wein nicht auf der Karte führt. Die Marke Viña Ardanza wurde im Jahre 1942 eingetragen und geht ursprünglich auf Don Alfredo Ardanza zurück, der im Jahre 1904 sein Unternehmen, den Weinhersteller Bodegas Ardanza mit der Bodega La Rioja Alta zusammenschloss.
Rebsorten:
75 % Tempranillo, 25 % Garnacha
Wine Advocate # 175 - Feb 2008 - Jay Miller - Viña Ardanza Reserva 2000 - 90 points - Drink: 2008 - 2015 $35-$50
The 2000 Reserva Vina Ardanza has 25% Garnacha blended with the Tempranillo. Light to medium ruby, it delivers an enticing bouquet of cedar, spice box, leather, forest floor, black cherry, and blackberry. This leads to a ripe, moderately dense wine with complex flavors and excellent balance. Drink this tasty effort through 2015.
La Rioja Alta continues to be one of the benchmarks for traditionally produced Rioja. What the wines may lack in power, they make up for in finesse and complexity.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Jul/Aug 08 - Vina Ardanza Reserva 2000, 90 points
($38) Fading medium-red color. Cherry-vanilla, tobacco and dried raspberry on the nose, with subtle baking spices, cedar and herbs adding complexity. Suave red fruit flavors are sweetened by vanillin oak spices and gently propped up by silky tannins. An understated wine that's sure to be dismissed by those who find ostentation in wine a virtue, but this will work wonderfully with grilled or braised meats, or not-so-strong cheeses. And the length of this Rioja is pretty sneaky. By Josh Raynolds
