La Rioja Alta, S.A. opens its 125th anniversary with two great news from the Internet. On the one hand, it is the only Winery to be mentioned four times —2001 Gran Reserva 904, 2001 Viña Ardanza Reserva Especial and 2004 Viña Ardanza (with two different mentions)— in the Top 100 Wines Under $50 list published by Vivino, the world's leading wine mobile application.
This list is based on more than 13 million ratings provided by the users of this application in 2014, who scanned and scored more than 3 million brands with their mobile devices.
The second great piece of news comes from Wine Searcher, one of today's leading wine search engines, which has included the 2004 Gran Reserva 904 as the only Spanish wine among the 6 Best Value Wines Under $45 in the world.
The criteria for this exclusive international list are, in addition to quality and price, the scores given by internationally-renowned critics, such as Tim Atkin MW and Robert Parker, as well as availability in choice establishments in the United States, the United Kingdom and at least two other countries.
