Classica Rosado Grandes Añadas 2009
Descripción
Hacienda López de Haro lanza su rosado dentro de su colección Classica, la más exclusiva de la casa. Bajo este paraguas solo salen al mercado vinos de añadas excepcionales. Es el caso de esta delicia de 2009, elaborado con Garnacha y Viura, y que además rinde homenaje con su etiqueta a la soprano Lucrecia Arana, artista riojana que le cantaba al vino y que resultó ser una grandísima embajadora de su tierra. En copa encontramos matices complejos que van desde los balsámicos y mentolados hasta el pomelo o la piel de naranja. Una joya al alcance de muy pocos.

Opinión de los críticos
Rose wine has been the greatest category success story of the last decade in the wine world -- driven by Provence. Provence, though, no longer has a monopoly on that success: rose drinkers everywhere are beginning to wake up to the fact that this category, too, has its highways and byways, all of which offer distinctive and authentic pleasures. An oak-aged rose from 2009? Why not? In place of fresh creaminess, you'll find a mellow, forest-like warmth; in place of chiffon fruits, you'll find concentration and structure, vinosity, secondary fruit resonances and even a faint tannic grip. This is emphatically a rose for food, and if you’re not receptive to the proposition of oaked rose then you're better off looking elsewhere, but for those whose palates are open to this other world, this is a rewardingly layered, mouthfilling and satisfying aged wine.
You can't fault Hacienda López de Haro for lack of ambition with this first release of an ultra-premium rosado from Cardenas and San Vicente. Made from mostly Tempranillo with 25% Viura and 5% Tempranillo, which are co-fermented and spend 48 hours on skins, this is sappy, fresh and structured with good texture and redcurrant and raspberry fruit complemented by oak sweetness. 2021-2024
