Winery
In the city of Haro, capital of La Rioja Alta, perhaps where the extraordinary combination of the mild climate and harsh soil is best achieved, we find López de Heredia winery, the oldest one in Haro and one of the first three wineries in La Rioja. The strategic location of its vineyards, the exceptional quality of the plantations, as well as the varieties used, have their essential counterpart in a magnificent winery, whose creation process was similar to planting the vineyards, slowly, with the utmost care.
