López de Haro Rioja Reserva has a deep ruby red color with a brownish rim, indicating its long barrel aging and quiet bottle aging. Powerful in the nose with primary aromas of ripe fruit accompanied by complex spicy and balsamic notes and a slight hint of vanilla. In the taste, the wine is balanced, it is a round and unctuous wine with ripe and sweet tannins, which give the wine a long finish, an elegant Rioja classic!
Rioja Reserva is made from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes from old vineyards with very low production. The vineyards are located on the poor land of the terraces of the Ebro in the area of San Vincente de la Sonsierra (La Rioja). The grapes are picked by hand in the second and third week of October. From reception of the grapes in the cellar, one works with gravity. That means no pumps are used, which is better for the grapes and ultimately the wine. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels from 1 year to 3 years old.
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.
