HACIENDA LÓPEZ DE HARO CRIANZA 2018 D.O. RIOJA
Hacienda López de Haro Crianza 2018, produced by Bodega Hacienda López de Haro, is a Rioja D.O. Red Wine made from the best Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes, with 18 months in barrel and 13.5º alcohol. From the heart of the Rioja Denomination of Origin comes the Hacienda López de Haro collection. The Sonsierra, in the heart of Rioja Alta, is flanked to the north by the Sierra de Cantabria and to the south by the river Ebro. The microclimate generated by its special geographical characteristics is perfect for vineyards and especially for the Tempranillo variety. Perhaps that is why this is one of the regions of La Rioja where the tradition of making wine is older
