Lopez Haro Rioja Tempranillo

Created by the renowned Vintae winery in the prestigious Rioja region, the Lopez Haro Rioja Tempranillo is a testament to craftsmanship and tradition. This wine pays tribute to the rich winemaking tradition of Rioja Alta, specifically San Vicente de la Sonsierra, home to the oldest and most celebrated Tempranillo vineyards. The carefully selected Tempranillo grapes come from old vineyards deeply rooted in chalky and clay-rich soils, giving the grapes a unique profile. This area is renowned for its ability to produce grapes of exceptional quality, which are then hand-harvested to preserve the integrity of each grape. Vintae's dedication to preserving local winemaking culture is clear; they honor the land and its products by combining traditional methods with innovative techniques, resulting in wines that are both deeply rooted in their origins and yet feel fresh and modern.

Exceptional Taste Profile of the Wine

Tasting the Lopez Haro Rioja Tempranillo immediately reveals its resounding popularity. The aroma alone reveals a complex bouquet of ripe berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, enriched with seductive spicy notes and a subtle hint of licorice. These aromas are further refined by six months of aging in French and American oak barrels, which not only lends the wine a hint of vanilla but also contributes to its rich, layered complexity. On the palate, the wine offers a powerful yet refined structure, with a balance typical of the Tempranillo grape. The pleasant acidity and soft tannins deliver a long, satisfying finish that reflects the terroir's characteristics and delights the senses. This wine is a masterpiece that reveals the care and precision of its makers with every sip.
