La Rioja Alta Luxury Rioja Gift Box 3 x 750ml

Formed in 1890 by three families – the Ardanzas, the Aranas and the Alberdis – La Rioja Alta sets the benchmark for the entire Rioja region. This gift box pays homage to what those illustrious families created.

La Rioja Alta are famed for their classic Spanish reds, which are aged for an inordinately long time in American oak barrels lovingly made by their own cooper. This wonderfully traditional producer still carries out its racking (the process of moving wine between barrels to remove the sediment) by hand and candlelight, the old-school way. All of which makes this limited-edition Luxury Rioja Gift Box a must-have present for any fan of Spanish wine.

The retro wooden case includes a Viña Ardanza Reserva, a Viña Arana Gran Reserva and the legendary ‘904’ Gran Reserva. As you’ll see from the scores below, each one comes highly praised by the critics. Three wines guaranteed to Rioja your world.
