Vina Albina, Tinto Gran Reserva, 2006

One of the grand old names of Rioja, Riojanas has produced heroic wines since its founding in 1890.

Until Felipe Nalda’s retirement in 2013, Riojanas’ winemaker had been with the bodega for 49 years (since the great 1964 vintage).

Under Felipe’s guiding hand, it remained one of the few remaining houses committed to the traditional methods that gave us one of the world's most distinctive and long-lived styles of wine.

This vintage - 2006 - comes from Felipe's heyday and is exactly what you'd come to expect from the man's work - immaculate.
