Description

La Rioja Alta is one of the most revered traditional producers in Haro, crafting benchmark Rioja since 1890. Still owned by the founding families, the winery is known for its classically styled wines that are medium-bodied, gently oxidative, and rich in savoury, secondary complexity. This wine is a blend of 80 percent Tempranillo from 30-year-old vineyards in Fuenmayor and Cenicero, and 20 percent Garnacha from a single high-altitude plot in Tudelilla, Rioja Baja. Each variety is aged separately in American oak, with Tempranillo spending three years in barrel and Garnacha two and a half, before blending and bottling to create a wine of timeless Rioja character.
