Named for the ancient, poetic tales of heroism, Hazaña is made at Viñicola Real in the classical style of Rioja. The fruit comes from the vicinity of Logroño at 500 meters above sea level and on red clay and chalky limestone soils. A blend of Tempranillo with up to 15% Graciano, it is aged in French and American oak before release.
Born of a collaboration between importer Eric Solomon and estate-owner Rafael de Haan that has produced an absolutely amazing bottling from 45-70 year-old unirrigated, head-pruned vines. Loads of black and red currants, licorice and tobacco leaf all jump from the glass of this dense, ruby/purple wine. Soft tannins, medium to full body and fabulous intensity. A sensational “Wallet-friendly” Rioja to drink over the next 5 years.
