ORIGIN:
Classica Hacienda López de Haro is a collection of “grandes reservas” crafted only from our winery’s finest vintages. A tribute to all the historical figures that contributed to Rioja’s rise to prominence as a world-renowned wine area, such as the winemaker Ramona Norberta de Albiz y Ruiz del Castillo, a pioneer in Bordeaux-style winemaking in Labastida at the beginning of the 19th century.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Varieties: Garnacha and Viura.
Vineyard: Goblet trained vines located on the ferrous clay terraces of the Alto Najerilla at high altitude, hanging
from the slopes of the Sierra de la Demanda facing north.
Harvest: Manual, in a single day, on September 27.
Winemaking: Maceration of between 24 and 48 hours at low temperatures, around 10ºC. Subsequently, the tank is
tapped, naturally extracting a bright pink must, which ferments at 16ºC for about 20 days in steel tanks.
Aging: Four years in Bordeaux barrels and subsequent aging in the bottle. The oaks of the Quecus petraea species
are sourced from a specific selection of forests in France and Eastern Europe; the majority of the oak is first-use,
with some second-use barrels included.
Alcohol content: 13% ABV.
TASTING NOTES:
Visual: Salmon color with coppery notes and great intensity. Lengthy aging produces it high tone and some grayish
nuances on the rim.
Nose: It is distinguished by its aromatic, silky essence, which is one-of-a-kind and full of character. Floral and
soapy notes dominate, with extra fruity tones of grapefruit and orange peel. Balsamic and menthol qualities are
also detected, lending it a distinct freshness. In addition, vanilla and hay notes are combined and incorporated into
the aromatic structure, resulting in a wine with a distinct identity.
Palate: Fullness on attack, with very good balance as it passes through the mouth, where delicate sensations are
the common theme. Of great length, it is a wine that exudes subtlety and elegance. It has certain final saline
touches that increase its complexity. In the final sensations stone fruits appear, leaving behind highly pleasing
sensorial recollections.
