Vintage Report

The 2018 vintage in Rioja has been excellently rated with 93 points. The wines from this year are approachable early and are characterized by their accessibility.

The Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco, crafted by the leading winery Vintae in the world-famous Rioja region, represents the pinnacle of white wine production. Made primarily from Viura grapes with additions of Malvasía, Tempranillo Blanco, Garnacha Blanca, and Turruntés, this wine is a masterclass in balance and refinement. The grapes are sourced from both old vineyards dating back to the 1980s and some younger plantings in Sonsierra and Alto Najerilla, areas known for their ideal climate and soil conditions for growing grapes with intense aromas and deep complexity. Hand-picking ensures the selection of only the finest fruit, followed by meticulous vinification. Aging for 18 months in Eastern European oak barrels, supplemented by French and American barrels, enriches this wine with unique character, while the long bottle aging of over three years ensures a perfect harmony of flavors.

Seductive Aromas and Deep Taste Experience

The Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco offers an exceptional aromatic experience, both delicate and intense. This wine presents a captivating palette of floral notes intertwined with complex aromas of forest floor and a subtle vanilla note, the result of light toasting in the barrels. The sweet, creamy nuances developed during extensive bottle aging give this wine its distinctive, pleasant character. The Malvasia grape contributes its characteristic honey notes, while the fresh notes and spicy hints of grapes from the cooler, higher regions of Rioja provide an intriguing depth. This complexity makes the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco a true sensory journey, with each sip revealing new layers and nuances.

Perfect Combinations with Culinary Dishes

The culinary versatility of the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco makes it an excellent choice for a wide variety of dishes. This wine is particularly well-suited to grilled fish, where its crisp acidity and citrusy flavors beautifully complement the delicate flavors of the fish. Light salads and soft cheeses also pair perfectly with this wine, thanks to its ability to enhance the subtle flavors without being overpowering. Whether it's a casual lunch or a refined dinner, the Lopez Haro Rioja Reserva Blanco is a wonderful complement that elevates any dish. The combination of its aromatic complexity and gastronomic flexibility makes this wine a must-have for any lover of fine wines and refined flavors.
