Hacienda López de Haro Blanco 2019
Made mostly from Viura Riojana grapes and supplemented by a minor number of other local varietals, the Blanco 2019 from Hacienda López de Haro draws the drinker into a nuanced embrace of heritage and precise winemaking. This white wine's complex personality stems from the Viura's beautiful intertwining with these other varieties from the vineyard.

Its enticing straw yellow color and fragrant bouquet of ripe fruit, dates, and banana are a visual and aromatic treat, while the age notes provide an intriguing layer of depth to the overall profile. This Spanish white wine has a story to tell of fleshy freshness on the palate, taking the drinker on a long, balanced journey that leaves a delightful aftertaste. One can sense a delicate equilibrium in the flavors, and one can tell that great care was used in making it.
To maintain the wine's individuality, the winemaking process is measured and careful, beginning with a 24-hour maceration and continuing with careful pressing and controlled fermentation in small tanks. Hacienda López de Haro Blanco 2019 is a wine that symbolizes the legacy and terrain of the Rioja Alta region, and it has spent two months aging in French oak barrels to provide a taste that is at once invigorating, nuanced, and reminiscent of the Spanish countryside.
