Don 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 bodegas in the Rioja region. For 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 trademarks and remain our maxim for today and the future. Bodegas L\u00f3pez de Heredia stands out as one of the few family-run bodegas regulated by the Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen Calificada Rioja \u2013 DOC (Appellation region).<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lopezdeheredia.destinoexterior.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fdibujomeandro.jpg\" width=\"515\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Tradition and conviction<\/strong> For us, tradition and conviction are life-long attitudes. Our winemaking process has been passed on from generation to generation, and our daily tasks are rooted in tradition, yet at the same time based on our deep belief in the validity and modernity of our methods.\u00a0 By \u201ctradition\u201d, we do not mean immobility and opposition to change; rather a dynamic and aesthetic concept in maintaining eternal principles and criteria. We are perfectly aware of the rhythm of change, and for this reason, our openness to change, our flexibility, our non-conformism and our self-criticism enable us to face the future. What we have inherited from our ancestors is what converts our idiosyncrasies into positive qualities and attitudes.
