Hacienda López de Haro Blanco is based on old-vine Viura from poor soils around San Vicente de la Sonsierra. A short period in French oak adds complexity to ripe fruit, while the palate retains freshness and a rounded texture.
Ripe fruit, dates and banana. Ageing notes, which make it interesting and complex. Fleshy and fresh, it is long and balanced and leaves a pleasant memory.
Floral and citrus notes accompanied by fresh pome fruits and a background of orange peel. The sweetness of the Garnacha and the freshness of the Viura are assembled, in a perfect balance. Subtle in character, but with great length and persistence, typical of the Atlantic seal that the Alto Najerilla region transmits.
A garnet-cherry colour of medium intensity with violet hues. Aromas of ripe red fruit underlain with supple notes of vanilla, coconut and cocoa. A very pleasant entry on the palate, fresh and an amiable finish.
Bodegas Navajas selects Tempranillo from Rioja Alta vineyards. The wine spends at least a year in American and French oak, followed by bottle maturation.
Aromatic intensity with forest fruits such as blackberries and wild cranberries intermingled with black liquorice, vanilla and nutmeg from time spent in oak. The perfect balance of tannin and acidity.
Notes of red fruits and black fruit accompanied by more mature tones and touches of barrel ageing (vanilla and cocoa). In the background, the typical liquorice tones of Tempranillo are appreciated with spicy notes. Friendly and elegant, with good structure provided by the Tempranillo variety, and velvety character from its barrel ageing.
Red fruits, liquorice, with mineral hints underlain with spicy and toasty notes from ageing in barrels. A very pleasant mouthfeel, soft tannins, well rounded off. A fresh elegant wine with a long finish.

The wine develops perfectly with a refreshing finish. A pleasantly balanced rosé with surprising complexity.
