Bodegas Lar de Paula is a family estate run by Fernando Meruelo, who also manages Bodegas Heredad de Baroja. Located in the center of Rioja Alavesa, in the village of Elvillar de Alava, Bodegas Lar de Paula is protected to the north by the Sierra Cantabria and thrives on the fertile Ebro valley to the south, where the region's climate ensures a supply of quality grapes from the best local winemakers.

Bodegas Lar de Paula was created with a single objective: to make a great wine from the finest grapes through a process in which excellence is the main concern. Temperature controls, stainless steel vats with a capacity of between 12,000 and 30,000 kilos, and meticulous, attentive monitoring at every stage of vinification ensure that our wines are of the highest quality.

"This 2010 Tempranillo offers a simple, fresh and bubbly nose of black plum and red cherry. The palate is fresh, well-balanced and supple, caressing, deep in notes felt on the nose, with a completely transparent finish. A superbly crafted wine from start to finish. Drink now through 2016." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Lar de Paula - Rioja Merus.4 2005

Rated 4/5Rated 4/5Rated 4/5Rated 4/5Rated 4/5

4/5 (2 reviews)

Score : Robert Parker 92/100
"In 2005, Lar de Paula Merus.4 opens the winery's international style. Opaque purple in color, it was aged for 18 months in one-third new French and American barrels. Aromas of toasted oak, scorched earth, minerals, blueberry and black cherry for a medium- to full-bodied, tight, dense extract with plenty of structure. Notes of spicy black fruit follow through to a long finish. Cellar for 5-6 years and drink through 2025. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

3.5/5 (10 reviews)

Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
"The 2008 Crianza offers high ripeness, on a bouquet of laurel and plum with a touch of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, with succulent tannins on the attack. Very well balanced, with roundness and a sensual finish offering hints of pepper and toast. This is a very fine Crianza, to drink now through 2018." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
