The second series of the wines made for the collection Spanish Artists Lealtanza and in honour to Salvador Dali which include three images of the famous paintings: Geological Echo. La Pietá; Galatea of the Spheres; Soft Self Portrait with a Rasher of Grilled.

The Wine Advocate: "The 2004 Lealtanza Reserva Spanish Artist Collection features a gorgeous Salvador Dali painting on the label attached to the heavy, custom-made bottle. As with last year’s Miro label, the wine stands up to the quality of the art work. The Tempranillo grapes were sourced from 75+-year-old estate vineyards and aged for 18 months in new Allier French oak. Opaque purple-colored, the wine features a splendid perfume of wood smoke, vanilla, fresh road tar, mineral, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate the wine is obviously youthful yet elegant. There are layers of spicy black fruits, ripe tannin, excellent balance, and a long finish. Give it 5-7 years in the cellar and drink it through 2030."

This wine is the product of the winery Bodegas Altanza, S.A.

BODEGAS ALTANZA, HISTORY AND TRADITION
It was in 1998 that a group of businessmen related to the world of wine decided to create a new winery. This new bodega emerges with the idea of producing quality wines at a reasonable price.

Located in Fuenmayor (Rioja Alta), Bodegas Altanza was built in a 35.000 m2 area leaving 10.000 m2 for a magnificent French garden. 
Its goal has always been and is to offer quality wine at a reasonable price, combining the best of the tradition inherent to a world renowned wine region with all the possibilities technology offers now: the goal is to make the most of a characteristic grape like the Tempranillo.

Tradition, because noble and traditional materials as wood, stones and solid bricks have been used when designing and building Bodegas Altanza. 
Bodegas Altanza maintain a vertical pressing method when making the wine; as well as the choice of the autochthonous variety as the only one when making their wines. Remarkable is the fact of getting the wooden vats back in order to produce high quality wines.

Modernity, because inside Bodegas Altanza you will find the latest technologies in the wine making process. The bottlle and barrel room both count with a climate and humidity control system.
The name of its main brand, Lealtanza, comes from the ancient Castilian, which means "Loyalty".
