Founded in 1877 in Haro’s Barrio de la Estacion, the estate has preserved a traditional winemaking approach for more than a century. Fermentation still takes place in large oak vats, and the family maintains a full in house cooperage where every barrel is repaired and prepared by hand. Few wineries in Spain operate with this level of continuity, and the methods used today remain closely linked to the practices of Rioja’s earliest producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003eThe estate farms several historic vineyards including Tondonia, Bosconia, Cubillo, and Gravonia. All are worked by hand with low yields and strict selection. Wines ferment with native yeasts in upright wooden vats and then age for extended periods in neutral American oak before long bottle rest in the deep cellars. These choices give the estate a reputation as a benchmark for classical Rioja. Writers often point to Lopez de Heredia as one of the region’s most important custodians of traditional winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily Tempranillo with Grenache, Mazuelo and Graciano topping off the cuvee, this luscious wine offers red fruit in abundance that quickly translates in a cedar and spice savoriness.
