Vintage Report

The 2019 vintage in Rioja has been rated an excellent 95 points by Robert Parker. The wines from this vintage are of exceptional quality and already very approachable.

The Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva, meticulously crafted by the renowned Vintae winery, symbolizes the highest quality of the Rioja region. This exquisite wine, made from Tempranillo and Graciano grapes, is characterized by a rare combination of power and elegance, originating from old vineyards on the Ebro terraces in La Sonsierra. This location is known for its poor soils that stress the grapes, allowing them to develop more concentrated flavors. The grapes are harvested by hand between late September and late October, followed by careful fermentation and aging for 20 months in French and American oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is both complex and harmonious. This process ensures that the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva reflects not only its origins but also Vintae's philosophy, where tradition and innovation blend to create wines of exceptional quality.

Aromas and Flavors that Enchant

The tasting notes of the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva reveal a palette of rich and subtle nuances that captivate the senses. The wine opens with a seductive balance of spice and vanilla notes, with an underlying layer of ripe fruit that forms the foundation of its character. As the wine unfolds, notes of tobacco and cocoa emerge, a direct result of the careful oak aging. These elements combine to create a refined complexity that is both inviting and challenging. The essence of the wine lies in its subtlety and elegance, with an enveloping yet light feel. Its good acidity and the fresh, balsamic notes that linger on the finish prolong the tasting experience and make every sip memorable.

Culinary Combinations and Moments

This Reserva is an excellent choice for special culinary occasions. It pairs beautifully with roasted leg of lamb, its spicy and fruity notes perfectly complementing the lamb's rich flavors. Grilled vegetables and aged cheeses also find a perfect partner in this Reserva, where the subtle oak notes and complex aromas elevate the dishes. Whether for an intimate dinner for two or a larger gathering, the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva ensures a refined and luxurious wine experience that transforms every meal into a celebration of flavors and aromas. This makes it not only a valued guest at any table but also an essential addition to any wine lover's collection.
