✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Barrio de la Estación in Haro, the spiritual heart of Rioja, Marqués de Haro is a distinguished creation from the historic house of La Rioja Alta, S.A. Founded in 1890 by five Basque and Riojan families, the winery remains a bastion of traditional Rioja winemaking. Named in honor of the historic title associated with the town of Haro, this wine is typically crafted from a meticulous selection of old-vine Tempranillo complemented by Graciano. It undergoes classic long-term aging in American oak casks handcrafted by the estate's in-house coopers. The terroir of Rioja Alta, characterized by iron-clay and alluvial soils influenced by a cooling Atlantic climate, imparts a signature bright acidity, elegant structure, and complex aromatic profile featuring red berries, leather, tobacco, and sweet spices.
