LOPEZ DE HARO | RESERVE 2018

Product Sheet – López de Haro Reserva 2018

López de Haro Reserva 2018 is the serene elegance of Rioja made wine. A renewed classic that pays homage to the balance between the nobility of time and the freshness of its origin. It is a red wine that distills tradition, patience, and the magic of years spent in barrel and bottle.

From vineyards located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and other privileged corners of Rioja Alta, where the clay-limestone soils and the Atlantic climate impart character and finesse. The harvest is manual, with selection in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and its aging extends for 20 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by a long refinement in bottle that gives it elegance, harmony, and depth.
