Our founder, Don Rafael L\u00f3pez de Heredia y Landeta, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic student in the art of wine making, followed closely in their footsteps.\r\nDon Rafael fell in love with the region and especially the area around Haro, the mythical capital of the Rioja Alta region. He observed that there was a magical combination of soil and climate that would offer the perfect environment for producing wine that would eventually become world famous. Around 1877 he began the design and construction of the complex that is today known as the L\u00f3pez de Heredia bodega (winery), the oldest in Haro and one of the first three houses in the Rioja region.\r\nFor over a century our emotions have been rooted in our love and passion for this land and its harvest. We cherish our heritage, and this combination of love and the rigorous quality standards we apply, have become our trademark and remains our maxim for today and the future.\r\nBodegas L\u00f3pez de Heredia stands out as one of the few family-run bodegas regulated by the Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen Calificada Rioja - DOC (Appellation region). |
