Hacienda Lopez de Haro Tinto (75cl, 13.5%)

Hacienda Lopez de Haro Tinto is a Tempranillo-based red wine from Rioja Alta, Spain, at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced by Bodega Classica in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The wine is built primarily on Tempranillo with supporting Garnacha and Graciano. It is fermented spontaneously using indigenous yeasts at a controlled 24°C, with 8 to 10 days of static maceration to extract fruit character without harsh tannins. The aroma leads with fresh plum and ripe cherry, followed by earthy spice, a subtle herbal lift and faint licorice. The palate is fleshy and generous with dark berry fruit and soft, ripe tannins, balanced by acidity. The finish is medium in length with cherry skin and dried herb notes.
