Classica Hacienda Lopez de Haro Gran Reserva 2012 Rose

72.00

Hacienda López de Haro Classica Gran Reserva Rosado is born in the clay-ferrous soils of the Alto Najerilla (right in the foothills of the Sierra de la Demanda), in the D.O. Ca. La Rioja. The vines grow in this north-facing enclave of La Rioja Alta, achieving their freshest and most acidic version. Here, in the westernmost part of the denomination, the Atlantic climate is predominant, with mild temperatures and very moderate rainfall. It requires the perfect conditions in the terroir, a spectacular climate and the best understanding between grower and vine. The result is a great vintage. And they are all part of the Classica Hacienda López de Haro range. This collection is home to wines that mark a before and after. The kind you know will not appear again for many years. And the Viura and Garnacha coupage made by Hacienda López de Haro Classica Gran Reserva Rosado is one of these.

Very flexible wine as you can pour it with white fish, White meats, Red meat, Oily fish, Smoked foods, Rice dishes, Blue cheeses, Pasta, Pizzas, Seafood. Recommended serving temperature is 10 degrees. Chill it and and let it come to room temperature on its own

Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines

Colour Salmon color
Nose  It is distinguished by its aromatic, silky essence, which is one-of-a-kind and full of character. Floral and soapy notes dominate, with extra fruity tones of grapefruit and orange peel. Balsamic and menthol qualities are also detected, lending it a distinct freshness.
Palate Fullness on attack, with very good balance as it passes through the mouth, where delicate sensations are the common theme. Of great length, it is a wine that exudes subtlety and elegance.
