Hacienda Lopez de Haro Blanco
£12.99
Although we have explored a lot, in Vintae we never lose sight of our land because here, in Rioja, is
where we have learned almost everything we know. With Bodega Hacienda López de Haro we wanted to
recover the authentic essence of Rioja, its fine wines, the classics that made this region great because
they represent elegance.
But, if we wanted to create modern wines, it was not enough to look at tradition. That is why, in the
Hacienda López de Haro collection, the historic Riojan finesse joins the grape quality of our old vineyards
to create authentic contemporary classics.
In deciding where to establish our winery we chose the historic town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in
the heart of DOCa Rioja surrounded to the north by the Sierra Cantabria and to the south by the Ebro
river. The microclimate of the area and its clay-calcareous soils generate the perfect conditions for the
vineyard.
This is why white Rioja is making a comeback. It’s evidence that, sometimes, patience wins the game. And we’ve had to wait an awful long time for this. It’s made using grapes from vines up to eighty years old. Vines of this age yield tiny portions of grapes, so all the flavours are intensified. You can taste it in this deeply aromatic wine. It’s nutty, rich and full with a moreish, creamy texture. It’s a heady wine, packed with the flavours of ripe yellow fruits – but it’s also nice and crisp. Think pear, quince and honey, with a citrussy backbone. This is wonderful with salty, tapas-style food like salted almonds or Serrano ham.
