*5R* 2012 Lopez de Heredia "Vina Bosconia" Rioja Reserva (Rioja, SP)
The beautiful Estate, El Bosque, has given birth to one of Heredia’s best known wines.

Pair it with paella, grilled beef, and your favorite Pedro Almodóvar movie.

About The Producer
Lopez de Heredia
Despite the ongoing winemaking changes in Rioja, a few bodegas, like López de Heredia, remain devoted to its traditional methods. For over 130 years, López de Heredia has preserved its historic cellars and family ownership, unlike many competitors now owned by outsiders. Unlike most Rioja wineries, López de Heredia owns its vineyards, ensuring control over every aspect of production. Now led by the youngest generation—Maria José, Mercedes, and Julio César—the bodega maintains its unwavering commitment to tradition, just like its predecessors.
