Hacienda Solano makes three kinds of wines, each one with a personality of its own. Their grand reserve wine is made with grapes from Finca Cascorrales and Finca Penalobera, two small pieces of land where the vines are between 100 and 200 years old. Their crianza wine is made from grapes selected from vines that are younger, but still between 80 and 100 years old. And finally, there is their youngest wine that is made from grapes that come from vines that are 15 to 20 years old.
