To speak of the Rioja Alavesa is to speak of wine. And to talk about wine in the Rioja Alavesa is to talk about Heredad de Aduna. Located in Samaniego, one of those places where wine is lived, Heredad de Aduna has remained throughout its history faithful to a philosophy that always places it next to the tradition established by José Martínez Aduna. A tradition, of course, dynamic and constantly evolving towards a single goal: to always achieve the best.

Tasting
Wide cherry and blackberry red color, medium layer and intense hue, with ruby rims. Notes of ripe red fruit typical of the over-ripening of the vine. The soft licorice and wood aromas complement each other perfectly, being well integrated. On the palate it has an incredibly balanced passage between fruit, wood, toast and fair astringency despite having been in contact with the wood at all times. At the same time it is sweet and invites you to another drink. It has good aging potential in the bottle.
Food pairings
Aduna Selected Harvest is an ideal wine to accompany with red and grilled meats, meat carpaccios or spoon dishes.
Cured meats and strong cheeses are great options for this wine. 99% or 100% pure chocolates and sweets such as cheesecakes and red fruits pair very well with this wine due to its good union with dairy touches.
