Bodegas LAN Rioja Rosado
WHY WE LOVE IT
- LAN Rosado is made from carefully selected vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.
- The 10 to 20-year-old vines thrive in the region’s unique chalky clay soils, enhancing the wine’s distinct flavor and quality.
Varietal Composition: 65% tempranillo, 13% garnacha blanca, 22% viura
Elaboration: Harvestied by hand, macerating for the right duration to achieve a unique pink hue. Fermenting at low temperatures.
Tasting Notes: The nose is as fresh as those red berries, with citrus and floral notes that make you smile for no apparent reason. The palate reveals the allure of the aroma and the pleasure of a rich, luminous flavor. Fresh, flavorful, direct, and carefree; expressive, with a pronounced and sweet finish.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Bodegas LAN is a relative newcomer to the Rioja scene, having been founded in 1972. The name “LAN” is an acronym for the three provinces that make up Rioja, Logroño, Alava, and Navarra.
LAN produces some of the most consistent, value-driven examples of Rioja on the market, and is also is an established leader on the premium side. LAN’s iconic 72 hectare Viña Lanciano vineyard sits on a breathtaking natural meander along the Ebro river and is the basis for most of the company’s top bottlings.
The spirit of experimentation and innovation permeates the culture at LAN, and winemaker María Barúa is continually pushing the limits and preconceptions people have of the region.
