The history of Rioja Alta dates back to 1890 when five families founded the "Sociedad Vinícola de la Rioja Alta" in the municipality of Haro, located in the north of Spain.
In 1904, Don Alfredo Ardanza, one of the founders of La Rioja Alta and owner of the Ardanza winery, suggested merging the two entities together. In 1941, it was decided that the final name would be "Rioja Alta, S.A.".
Over the years, the Rioja Alta bodega has expanded its range, producing wines whose refinement and aromatic richness are the perfect expression of the exceptional vineyards in the La Rioja terroir.
