López de Haro Rioja Seleccion de 30 Barricas has a deep red cherry color in the glass. In the nose the wine is intense and complex. Nuances of black fruit from a ripe and full-bodied grape stand out and mingle with smoky notes from the oak barrel along with spicy and cocoa notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with strong character, as well as fleshy and elegant, with mature tannins providing a tasty lingering finish.
Rioja Seleccion de 30 Barricas is made from Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes, from old vineyards with very low production. The Tempranillo vineyards are in the area of Sonsierra (la Rioja) and the high altitude Graciano vineyards in the area of Cárdenas.
The grapes are picked by hand in 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. Fermentation takes place in 500 liter open barrels made of French oak, which are dipped daily according to a traditional process. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels, where the maturation takes place. The wine is aged for over 30 months in new French oak barrels. The wine then rests in the bottle for another 3 years.
Delicious with roast beef, pork belly, oriental meat and game dishes.

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.
