Critics reviews
Shuai Zekun 95/100
A more vibrant and fruitier expression of Ardanza this year with strawberries, mussels, warm spices and berries. Round and silky on the palate with lovely spices and a long, nicely saline finish. A nice touch of creaminess works really well here and further extends the finish.80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha.Drink or holdshuai_zekun, Senior Editor for jamessuckling_com (September 2023)
About this wine
Tempranillo/Tinto Fino
A high quality red wine grape that is grown all over Spain except in the hot South - it is known as Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero, Cencibel in La Mancha and Valdepenas and Ull de Llebre in Catalonia. Its spiritual home is in Rioja and Navarra where it constitutes around 70% of most red blends.

The company still maintains traditional Rioja winemaking practices whilst embracing many of the new technological advances.
