From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Lopez Haro Rioja Gran Reserva represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship from the renowned Vintae winery, located in the heart of Rioja Alta. This wine is crafted from a careful selection of Tempranillo and Graciano grapes, harvested from old vineyards known for their poor soils and low yields, which contribute to the intense concentration of flavors. Hand-picking ensures that only the finest grapes are selected for the production of this exceptional wine. After maceration, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation in large vats, after which the wine matures for an impressive 30 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. This carefully balanced aging method, using both new and used barrels, adds a subtle oaky note without overpowering the natural fruit characteristics. More than four years of bottle aging then ensures a perfect harmony between tannins and acidity, giving this Gran Reserva its characteristic, velvety texture.

The Lopez Haro Rioja Gran Reserva is a masterpiece of aromatic complexity and depth of flavor. This wine opens with a rich mosaic of spicy aromas, each nuance carefully woven to create a captivating palate. In the background, sweet notes of ripe fruit compote and seductive hints of licorice add another layer of complexity. As the flavor develops on the palate, these elements merge with velvety tannins, leaving a soft yet structured impression. Slow aging contributes to the subtle development of these flavors, giving the wine a long and enveloping finish. The excellent acidity provides balance and ensures the wine remains fresh and vibrant from beginning to end, making the Lopez Haro Rioja Gran Reserva a true sensory experience.

The power and elegance of the Lopez Haro Rioja Gran Reserva make it an ideal partner for a variety of dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops, where the wine's rich spiciness enhances the meat's intense flavors. It also excels with savory stews and aged cheeses, where its complex structure and deep fruit notes find a harmonious balance with the rich and often earthy flavors of these dishes. Whether it's a casual family dinner or a sophisticated event, the Lopez Haro Rioja Gran Reserva enhances any culinary occasion, with every sip heralding the promise of Rioja quality and tradition. This makes it an indispensable addition to any connoisseur's cellar and a guarantee for a memorable dining experience.
