BODEGA CLASSICA HACIENDA LOPEZ DE HARO

“Bodega Classica’s building is located on a bucolic hill in the historic village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra (one of the villages with the longest wine-producing tradition) and rises above a sea of vineyards irrigated by the River Ebro. The Riojan Sonsierra is an area located on the south side of the Cantabrian Mountain Range and the Toloño mountains, which protects it from the cold winds and humidity from the Cantabrian Sea. Its climate conditions, with more rainfall during the winter than any period of the year and the wind coming through the Valley of Ebro, make it a perfect area to grow vines. Its uneven orography and calcareous clay soils with good drainage is perfect for the Tempranillo variety. Bodega Classica brings together the grape’s excellent conditions and the essence of Rioja winegrowing tradition to create a wide range of elegant, expressive and aromatic wines.”

Bodega Classica is a bodega specialising in exceptional aged red wines. The bodega’s philosophy is based on the taste for simplicity, elegance and experience, thus recreating new “classics” with the aim of recovering the concept of great wines. Bodega Classica wines are expressive and aromatic, very pleasant on the palate and at a point between tradition and High-Expression. These wines are capable of satisfying the more demanding enthusiasts as well as the average consumer. Grape selection is the basis, and time, wood and attention to detail take care of the rest. Rioja tradition with a touch of modernity shapes the Hacienda López de Haro collection, a homage to the Rioja lineage -probably the most regal- originating in the 12th century. Among its most illustrious members is Don Diego López de Haro: Second lieutenant of the Kingdom, Lord of Biscay and Administrative Official of Castile. He was one of the major figures in the Battle of Navas de Tolosa (1212), where he commanded the Christian army against the Almohads. Another Diego López de Haro would go down in history almost a century later for being the founder of Bilbao.
