López de Haro Rioja Gran Reserva has a bright cherry red color and a garnet rim. In the nose, the wine has a high aromatic intensity, pure and ripe. Complex on the nose with nuances of coffee, vanilla, roasted notes and balsamic, integrated in an intense base note of ripe fruit. In the taste it is elegant and round. Well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied finish resulting from its noble and ripe tannins. The long finish has spicy and balsamic hints, which are the result of the long and gentle maturation, as well as candied fruit nuances that reveal its personality.
This wine is made from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand in the third week of October and come from old, low-yielding vineyards on the nutrient-poor land of the Ebro terraces in the region of San Vicente de la Sonsierra (La Rioja). The wine is made in barrels of 30,000 kg. After 2 weeks of maceration, it is matured for 30 months in French and American oak barrels, after which the wine rests for at least 3 years in the bottle.
Delicious with Spanish ham and sausages, beef dishes, Cote du Boeuf, Beef Wellington or Oriental short ribs.

Bodega López de Haro is located in the historic village of San Vincente de la Sonsierra. Here, Bodega López de Haro rises above a "sea of vineyards" flanked by the rivers Ebro and Sierra de Toloño. The bodega is completely excavated on the side of a mountain. The wine selection is named after Don Diego López de Haro, founder of the city of Bilbao. Hacienda López de Haro is a series of wines that combines the simplicity and elegance of great classics with today's consumer tastes. The terroir in this region is made of calcareous clay. This results in a wine with refined freshness and a pleasant length and aftertaste.
All the wines at Bodega Hacienda López de Haro have something in common: grapes from the best wine regions of the D.O. Rioja, the dedication with which the winemakers work the vineyard and the affection the winemakers put into the preparation of each wine. From the moment the grapes are received in the bodega, only gravity is used to move the wine. That means no pumps are used, which is better for the grapes and ultimately better for the wine.
