Bodegas LAN Rioja A Mano Edicion Limitada

Winemaker Bodegas LAN on the winery

“We are Bodegas LAN, founded in 1972 in the heart of Rioja Alta. Our name refers to the three provinces that make up Rioja: Logroño, Álava and Navarra. Tradition and innovation go hand in hand in our approach. At our remarkable Viña Lanciano estate, surrounded by a meander of the Ebro River, we work with great respect for the vineyards and the grapes. Our aim is to create wines that express the character of Rioja, with a distinctive style and a clear identity.”

And on Rioja, Spain

“For our A Mano, we hand-select grapes from old vines at the Viña Lanciano estate, where stony soils and low yields produce concentrated fruit. The blend combines Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. We ferment the grapes in small tanks before ageing the wine in new oak barrels, including French oak. This develops layers of ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by clove, cinnamon and toasted notes. The result is a powerful, full-bodied Rioja with structure, velvety tannins and a long finish.”
