Viña Alberdi Selección Especial Reserva 2021 represents one of the most refined and long-lived expressions of Rioja Tempranillo. Born from an exceptional vintage and awarded, for the second time in its history, the highest internal classification of Selección Especial granted by La Rioja Alta, S.A.
Viña Alberdi Selección Especial Reserva 2021 is an exceptional interpretation of one of Rioja's most iconic wines. Made exclusively with Tempranillo from selected estate-owned vineyards, it reflects the classic philosophy of La Rioja Alta, S.A., a historic winery that has made elegance, ageing potential and winemaking precision its main hallmarks.
The 2021 vintage brought together extraordinary conditions for slow and balanced ripening, resulting in wines of great varietal definition, complexity and finesse. The excellent performance of the harvest allowed the winery to award, for the second time in the history of Viña Alberdi, the internal distinction of Selección Especial, a recognition reserved only for vintages of outstanding quality.
The result is a Reserva that combines the purity of ripe red fruit with perfectly integrated ageing, where spicy, balsamic and toasted notes enrich the expression of the Tempranillo without ever concealing its origin. A classic and elegant Rioja, designed both for immediate enjoyment and for long bottle ageing.

La Rioja Alta, S.A., has gone down in history as one of the emblems of the best-understood Rioja classicism, a style that has brought worldwide fame to this region. From its operations center in the famous Barrio de la Estación in Haro, considered the heart of Spanish wine, this century-old company has stood for over a century as a champion of the highest quality. La Rioja Alta, S.A., has managed to evolve very well over time, introducing small changes but without breaking away, reaching today as one of the most prestigious and active winemaking companies in the country.
Despite its long and successful winemaking trajectory, La Rioja Alta, S.A., has not rested on its laurels. In 1995, it began its expansion strategy with the acquisition of Torre de Oña, also in the D.O.Ca. Rioja, a beautiful winery with vineyards surrounding the facilities, in the style of French châteaux. And already in the 21st century, it has extended its domains beyond Rioja, investing in two of the most important denominations of origin in our country: Ribera del Duero and Rías Baixas.
