Description
Still red from Rioja, Spain, 13% ABV, produced by Lopez de Heredia. A Rioja Reserva that embodies the tradition and passion of a family that has been producing excellent wines since 1877. It all began in the mid-19th century, when French merchants visited the Rioja region to find alternative sources of quality grapes for wine, as phylloxera had decimated the vineyards. Our founder, Don Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta, an experienced and enthusiastic student of the art of winemaking, followed closely in their footsteps. Notes of vanilla and dried berry aromas on the nose. Vibrant red with slight amber hues. Rich, very dry, smooth, and developed. Firm tannins and good balance.

Don Rafael fell in love with the region and especially the area around Haro, the mythical capital of the Rioja Alta region. He observed that there was a magical combination of soil and climate that would offer the perfect environment for producing wine that would eventually become world famous. Around 1877 he began the design and construction of the complex that is today known as the López de Heredia bodega (winery), the oldest in Haro and one of the first three bodegas in the Rioja region.
For over a century our emotions have been rooted in our love and passion for this land and its harvest. We cherish our heritage, and this combination of love and the rigorous quality standards we apply, have become our trademarks and remain our maxim for today and the future.
