The silky, long-aged reds of Rioja are always one of our most-ordered classic styles. But even in such a prestigious region, some bodegas stand out above the rest. Like the four in this case. No one has won as many medals as Altos de la Guardia since its foundation, and its dark, intense Reserva soon demonstrates why. Valpiedra is the top vineyard from World Top 50 Winery Bujanda, whilst from storied López de Heredia there’s a sumptuous 12-year-old Reserva. Finally, and most iconic of all, legendary Viña Ardanza Reserva is on stunning 95-point form with its 2012.
