Vina Albina Reserva 2019
From the heart of Spain's celebrated Rioja region, Viña Albina Reserva 2019 hails from Rioja Alta, a subregion renowned for producing refined, age-worthy wines. It is crafted by Bodegas Riojanas, a historic winery founded in 1890 by the Artacho and Cuevas families. The winery’s legacy is deeply rooted in traditional Rioja winemaking, with a continued focus on quality, heritage, and terroir expression.
Wine Description
This reserva opens with a deep ruby hue and garnet reflections, hinting at its careful aging. On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of ripe red berries, dried plum, and cherry, layered with subtle vanilla, clove, and toasted cedar from extended oak aging. The palate is medium to full bodied, offering a balanced structure with silky tannins, a core of dark fruit, and hints of leather, spice, and cocoa that add to its complexity. The finish is long and smooth, showcasing the harmony between fruit and oak.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled ribeye steak, or traditional Spanish tapas such as jamón ibérico and aged Manchego cheese. It also complements mushroom risottos or pasta with savoury tomato sauces.
