Tasting notes Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco 2018

White wine Reserva. 18 meses en barricas de roble and 36 meses en botella.

Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco 2018 is a mature, bright golden colored wine, lively and with grayish hues on the rim. In principle it is a wine with a medium-high intensity, with particularly striking floral notes and vanilla and sweet nuances. The palate is acidic and enveloping, very fine and elegant, silky and pleasant. Long and persistent finish.

About Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco

The whites of the D.O.Ca. Rioja are making a triumphant return! This tradition from the northeast of Spain, which lost its renown and prestige in the 1980s and 1990s, is coming back stronger than ever with long-aged white wines such as Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco.

Eighteen months in Eastern European oak barrels and an additional three years in the bottle is the minimum time this blend of viura and other white varieties (such as malvasía, tempranillo blanco, garnacha blanca, and torrontés) spends in the winery. We are certainly accustomed to reds with this aging period, but it's a different story with whites, isn't it? Only with this time will the clay-limestone soils, which are abundant in La Rioja Alta, be fully expressed. This region includes the areas of Sonsierra and Alto Najerilla, where the ancient vineyards (over 80 years old) and newer plots, where the grapes for Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco are cultivated, are located. In this north-facing area, the vines face an Atlantic climate, with cold winters and mild summers, showcasing their freshest side, ripening just enough and retaining a delightful acidity.

All of this is transformed in the winery into a stunning wine. Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco arrives at the López de Haro facilities where it is processed and left to macerate. This operation, in which the must remains in contact with the skins, aims to extract aromas and flavours that will be enhanced during fermentation (which will take place in a controlled manner in stainless steel tanks). Finally, Hacienda López de Haro Reserva Blanco rests for 18 months in Eastern European oak barrels and another 36 months in the bottle.

The pinnacle of excellence in white wine!
