Vineyard
Selection of old vines of low production settled on poor soils on the terraces of the Ebro, in the area of the Sonsierra.
Viticulture
From the heart of the Denomination of Origin Rioja born Hacienda López de Haro collection. Sonsierra, in full Rioja Alta, is flanked on the north by the Sierra de Cantabria and to the south by the Ebro River. The microclimate generated by its special geographical features is perfect for vineyards and especially for the variety Tempranillo. Maybe that's why this is one of the Rioja regions where the tradition of making wine is older.
Tasting Notes
The Crianza from Hacienda López de Haro sparkles intense violet in the glass. Ripe red fruit aromas, reminiscent of blackberries, blackcurrants and cherries, and a hint of leather fill the nose. Spicy nuances of cinnamon stick and orange peppered with cloves complete the bouquet.
On the palate, Hacienda López de Haro Crianza is very soft, expressive and elegant. A beautiful Rioja red wine that perfectly combines taste and drinking pleasure. This Spanish red wine embodies the perfectly balanced combination of fruity characteristics and fine notes of barrel ageing.
This Rioja red wine is a real treat to strong tapas, paella, stews of red meat and ripe cheese.
