In a truly elevated setting —the 29th floor of the Iberdrola Tower— La Rioja Alta, S.A. held a new edition of its “Los 90+ Tasting”, a very special event where the historic Haro-based winery welcomed some of its most distinguished private clients, hospitality professionals, Club de Cosecheros members from Bizkaia, and friends of the house.
Throughout the day, in a relaxed open tasting format, guests enjoyed a selection of the group’s most acclaimed wines —all awarded more than 90 points by leading national and international critics. Organized across different tasting tables, visitors were able to discover the latest outstanding vintages from the four wineries that make up this prestigious group, experiencing wines that embody the essence of Rioja classicism while embracing a modern, contemporary approach to winemaking and terroir in Rioja Alavesa, Ribera del Duero, and Rías Baixas.
The tasting featured Lagar de Cervera 2024 and Pazo de Seoane 2024 (Lagar de Fornelos, Rías Baixas); Finca Martelo (Torre de Oña, Rioja Alavesa); the Ribera del Duero wines Áster, Áster El Espino, and Finca El Otero (Áster, Anguix); as well as the celebrated reds from Haro —Viña Alberdi, Viña Arana, Viña Ardanza, and the iconic Gran Reserva 904, including its newly released 2016 vintage. A collection of wines highly appreciated in Bilbao and Bizkaia, one of La Rioja Alta, S.A.’s most important and loyal markets for decades.
The event also provided the perfect occasion to unveil the latest editions of the Club de Cosecheros wines from La Rioja Alta, S.A., Torre de Oña, and Áster —an exclusive initiative offering members access to wines produced only in the finest vintages and available for reservation two years in advance, a true reflection of the trust and loyalty that have united friends and clients with the winery since 1976.
With nearly 600 guests in attendance, this successful tasting once again reaffirmed La Rioja Alta, S.A.’s deep bond with Bilbao and Bizkaia, as well as its enduring commitment to excellence —crafting wines that, in perfect harmony, represent both the timeless tradition of Rioja classicism and the sophistication of a contemporary style.
