Lopez de Haro, Rioja Reserva

We have run out of stock for this item.

A classic, suave, elegant, complex and approachable Rioja that is made from some of best parcels of vines in the Sonsierra sub-zone of Rioja Alta. Tempranillo and Garnacha vines with an average age of 30 years give this wine a silky texture, bright cherry colour, aromas of strawberry and vanilla, tobacco and cocoa. A refined Rioja if ever there was one and at a fantastically good price too.

Lopez de Haro is a very respected name in Spanish wine making but was only established in the mid-2000s. Such success with such speed is unusual in a classic European wine region, but with 92 points from Robert Parker for their second or third vintage, it is clear that this winery is not messing about. Starting with "why" they do what they do, they have thus far ended up with 7 independent wineries across Spain and don't particularly look like slowing down any time soon.

If you wanted to find out what the cutting edge of Spain looks like from the safety of traditional regions, then this is the perfect wine for you. If you want a traditional Rioja that is relevant to the modern day, then this, too, is a perfect wine for you. Not easy to do, is it? But that's clearly their magic... Aged for 20 months in American and French oak barrels.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
