Hacienda López de Haro Crianza

Hacienda López de Haro Crianza 2018

Bought this to try as enjoyed the white and have to say, a lovely smooth, readily drinkable red Rioja at a very fair price. An every day go to red wine - loved it with lamb.

Enjoyable easy drinking delight

I found lovely fruit aromas greeting my nose as the glass approached, and the taste of the wine delivered on the soft dark fruit, promised. The wine has delightful dark berry flavours, raspberry, and ample blackberry, intermingled with ripe cherry. Its tannins are soft and cause your mouth to want to try another mouthful. It accompanies Iberican ham and cheese tapas wonderfully. If only it could deliver sunshine on request too!

Excellent oaky red

We loved this crianza - so deliciously oaky and went down a treat with some manchego cheese and oven baked bread. We are testing out a few different riojas before we pick one for our wedding and the López de Haro Crianza is winning so far!

Good quality Rioja at a bargain price

Hacienda Lopez de Haro Crianza has long been one of our favourites. A reliable and well balanced wine, it complements any meat dish - or, is simply good to drink on it's own !

Good value for money

This is one of my most regular "general purpose" Riojas, always reliable and good value: I've been buying a case every year for a long time, and it has never yet disappointed.
