Lopez de Heredia has to be the most iconic Rioja in the world and a dear favourite amongst wine professionals. Not only for their very old school style of wine but also for their history. The estate itself dates back over 145 years old and over five generations. These wines are incredibly well known for their ageing time in oak and long maturation in bottles, with time the oak becomes polished and balanced. This then reflects in the wine as it becomes gracious, earthy, elegant, seductive, complex, pleasurable and so much more.
Why do we like it?
To be able to drink a wine of that age with so much complexity and at that price is simply stunning! Every sip will take you to this historical region of Spain. This wine is meant to share with your close ones, it's extra special and unique. It will keep evolving with time, which will add to its complexity. Aromas and flavours of earthiness are expressed in terracotta, mushrooms, dill, coconut, ripe strawberries and dried plum. The finish is always long and indicative of sweet tobacco.
