Lopez de Haro Gran Reserva 2012

Product description

Highly regarded for distinctive and age-worthy red wines, Rioja is Spain’s most celebrated wine region. San Vicente de la Sonsierra is in a privileged situation for wine growing. A region located under the Toloño mountain range, which shelters it from the cold winds of the Cantabrian Sea and with the river Ebro to the south, providing the moisture needed. This location creates an ideal microclimate for the vineyard.

This grand wine has a bright cherry-red colour with a high aromatic intensity, it is clean and sound. Complex on the nose with coffee, vanilla, roast and balsamic nuances integrated into an intense bottom note of ripe fruit. The palate is elegant and round. It is well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied aftertaste resulting from its noble and ripe tannin. A wine with personality!
