Specialities: Red wine
Lopez de Heredia is certainly one of the oldest and most representative wineries in all of Spain. Founded in 1877 by Rafael Lopez de Heredia, it still produces legendary Rioja wines for long aging, very elegant where the pursuit of acidity is more important than the alcohol content according to a processing method proven over 130 years of history.
Traditionally, the wines are never released on the market before 5-10 years, a significant aging far longer than what their colleagues in the area do. The quest for perfection is utmost and no wine is released until it is ready.
The result are wines are truly remarkable, it is amazing how the infinitely complex secondary and tertiary notes blend with the fruit that remains fresh and enjoyable years later. The textures are special. These wines have that paradoxical lightness and depth, with enormous aging potential.
Tradition in motion
"For us, tradition and conviction are lifelong attitudes. Our winemaking process has been handed down from generation to generation, and our daily activities are rooted in tradition, but at the same time based on our deep conviction of the validity and modernity of our methods. By "tradition" we do not mean immobility and opposition to change; rather a dynamic and aesthetic concept in maintaining eternal principles and criteria. We are acutely aware of the pace of change, which is why our openness to change, our flexibility, our nonconformity and our self-criticism enable us to face the future. What we have inherited from our ancestors is what converts our idiosyncrasies into positive qualities and attitudes." Maria Jose and Mercedes Lopez de Heredia
