The 1970 Viña Albina Rioja comes from Bodegas Riojanas in Cenicero, Rioja Alta, a historic estate renowned for producing wines built to age. Crafted with careful vineyard selection and extended oak ageing, this vintage reflects the house’s commitment to structure and patience. While 1970 may not have been the flashiest year on record, the Viña Albina line demonstrates that careful winemaking can create wines of lasting depth and character.

Now over fifty years old, the wine has evolved into a mature Rioja with subtle complexity. The palate is softened but layered, with gentle tannins, balanced acidity, and tertiary notes that hint at leather, dried fruit, and spice. It is a contemplative wine, meant to be savored slowly, offering a quiet glimpse into the enduring craftsmanship of Bodegas Riojanas and the timeless elegance of Rioja Alta.
