Hacienda

LOPEZ de HARO 

Riserva 2005

92 points The Wine Advocate

"The 2005 Hacienda Lopez de Haro Reserva is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% Garnacha aged for 20 months in French and American oak. It has a beautiful, rounded, sensual bouquet with hints of over-ripe Satsuma and gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of piquancy on the entry. It has crisp acidity and taut tannins on the dry, dusky finish but it remains extremely well-focused. Drink now-2025. 

The beautifully designed label for the wines of Bodegas Classica imply a more traditional expression of Rioja, but “classic contemporary” is perhaps a more appropriate description. Thirty-six year old Raul Acha comes from a long line of winemakers and has a doctorate in viticulture from the University of Rioja. These are excellent wines brimming with personality and well-judged, prudent winemaking. The two most appealing wines come under the Hacienda Lopez de Haro label, from vines located in San Vincente de la Sonsierra."  #202 August 2012 Neil Martin

Our Thoughts: 

Very expressive aroma of ripe berries and cherry. Loaded with fruit on the palate with a velvety mouth feel and good complexity. Still young, but well structured and with a nice length to the finish for a wine this affordable. Great for grilling or just sitting on the deck with friends and family!!

The Winery

CLASSICAL MODERN PHILOSOPHY
Bodega Classica is a winery specializing in the creation of great reds that have been aged in
the cask, created by and for the consumer of quality wines. It bases its philosophy on its taste for simplicity, elegance, and experience. At Bodega Classica we take the greatest care in everything down to the last detail, from the wine itself to its presentation in the bottle, which aims to transmit the harmony of the fusion between the traditional and the modern in the wine it contains. Situated on a picturesque hillside of the historic village of San Vicente de La Sonsierra, the winery ‘Bodega Classica’ rises above a veritable sea of vineyards, flanked by the winding course of the River Ebro and the slopes of the mountain range of Sierra de Toloño.

The harvest occurs during October. The grapes are picked in 15 kg boxes. Hacienda Lopez de Haro is a round, pleasant and expressive wine, made from the Tempranillo, red Garnacha and Graciano grape varieties and aged for more than 3 years in oak and bottle.

HARVEST

Produced in 30,000 kg vats. Fermentation occurs at a temperature of 28º C, and maceration is extended for 2 weeks. Aged in French and American oak barrels during 18 months. A subsequent refinement is achieved in bottle until placed in the market, with an approximate aging of two years between both barrel and bottle.

WINEMAKING AND AGING

Hacienda Lopez de Haro is a wine of intense colour and pleasant bouquet, in which the nuances of mature fruit stand out. In the mouth it is soft, expressive and elegant, combining a fruity character with the notes lent by the cask,
