La Rioja Alta is one of the grand old bodegas of Rioja, based, as the name suggests, in the Rioja Alta subregion. Founded in 1890, it is located in the Barrio de la Estación area of Rioja Alta’s capital, Haro. There it clusters alongside other Rioja luminaries such as ultra-classical López de Heredia immediately opposite, Muga right next door, blending classical and modern styles, and the modernists of Roda a minute or two up the road. La Rioja Alta has long been a standard bearer of the classical style.
