Lan a Mano Edicion Limitada

A unique example of craftsmanship. LAN has been making high-quality wines for decades. This has given Bodegas LAN the opportunity to experiment in recent years. And it's been a great success. This LAN a Mano Edition Limitada is a particularly successful experiment. Only a few bottles were made, so be quick. The first vintage sold out quickly.

A top wine from LAN in Rioja

Bodegas LAN is located in Rioja, a region that has been a leading wine region for centuries. In 1926, almost 100 years ago, it received its first legal recognition, making Rioja one of Spain's oldest wine regions. Bodegas LAN was founded half a century ago, in 1972. Initially, the vision was clear: to make good Rioja wines, without fuss. However, that vision has been somewhat modified. Bodegas LAN aims to innovate, invest, and experiment. LAN a Mano Edicion Limitada is a first step towards becoming a progressive winery.

The composition of LAN a Mano

LAN a Mano Edicion Limitada is a blend of Tempranillo (85%), Graciano (10%), and Mazuelo (5%). The average age of the vines is between 35 and 40 years. All grape varieties are grown on the small El Rincon vineyard. This vineyard, just 5.34 hectares in size, is located slightly south of the winery's base. The vineyard where the grapes for LAN a Mano Edicion Limitada are grown is situated slightly higher, which benefits the grapes' development. After being harvested by hand, the wine is first aged for eight months in new French oak. Because the oak is new, it releases a tremendous amount of flavor. The juice is then transferred to Caucasus barrels—a rare feat in winemaking. This gives LAN a Mano the character for which it is so renowned.
