La Rioja Alta is a very traditional Rioja winery, founded in 1890 in Haro at the heart of the Rioja region. The winery focuses on making red wines, mostly from Tempranillo with some Mazuelo and Graciano used, while Garnacha is also grown fro use in making their Vina Ardanza. Unusually for a Bodega of its size La Rioja Alta owns its own vineyards, some 360ha, from which they can select the best fruit to make rich and flavoursome wines.
