Description:

 

López de Heredia is “one of the last great bastions of Rioja tradition” (Hugh Johnson). As Luis Gutiérrez writes on erobertparker.com, “visiting the winery is like time travelling to 100 years ago, with no stainless steel or new oak to be found anywhere”. All their wines are named after different plots on the estate. From a year of "powerful, concentrated wines of good quality" (Jancis Robinson), Tondonia Reserva comprises mainly Tempranillo, plus portions of Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, all aged for six years in barrels, then bottled unfiltered for maximum flavour. 

 

Tasting Notes:

 

This is a Tondonia of pure elegance and purity, with notes of bramble, plum, and plenty of spice. There’s tobacco leaf and cedar, and plenty of sandalwood notes on the finish. So fresh and lifted, it’s almost blood orange in character. It’s sure to last for decades.
