Lan Description

MT

Founded in 1972, Bodegas LAN lies in the heart of Rioja Alta. The name LAN comes from the initials of the three provinces of the Rioja Designation of Origin: Logroño, Álava and Navarra. María Barua has been the head winemaker and technical director since 2002, and brings both scientific expertise (with an academic background in chemistry in addition to her oenology degree) and local knowledge (having been born and raised in Rioja). Together with her young and energetic team, María focuses on using the latest advances in winemaking to ‘express the virtues of the land’.

The estate farms its Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnacha vineyards sustainably. The Viña Lanciano vineyard is one of the most spectacular vineyards in the region, located on a bend of the River Ebro. The vineyard’s poor, stony soils and the average vine age of 60 years are both conducive to low yields. The vines are divided into 24 plots of different soils, grape varieties and aspects so that each can be hand-picked at perfect ripeness. In the winery, there is a rigorous selection process to ensure that only perfect bunches are used. Bodegas LAN also painstakingly select and test their oak barrels and have even pioneered a hybrid barrel - American staves with French oak heads - which they feel imparts the best characteristics of both types of oak on a wine.

Winemaker Notes

Deep garnet red with bright highlights. On the nose, ripe fruit with spicy notes of black peppers and cinnamon. Balanced, powerful and flavorful on the palate with blackberry and redcurrant notes, in harmony with vanilla and caramel.

Drink with red meat, grilled or smoked fish, and soft cheeses.

Professional Ratings

91James Suckling
Walnuts, sweet tobacco, dark berry fruit and toasted coconut aromas follow through to a medium body, spicy core of fruit and chewy tannins. Tasty, with good bite.
90Wine Spectator
A bright, expressive red, with spice box, red licorice, mountain herb and violet accents to the flavors of ripe cherry and boysenberry fruit. Medium-bodied and balanced, with light, fine tannins and a juicy finish.
