A true icon from one of Rioja’s most renowned wineries, Viña Tondonia Reserva 2012 from López de Heredia embodies the essence of traditional Rioja winemaking. With over a century of history, López de Heredia has remained steadfast in its commitment to crafting wines that are age-worthy, complex, and deeply expressive of the region’s unique terroir.
This Reserva is a stunning example of their expertise. A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, the wine spends over six years in oak, followed by extended bottle aging, which imparts depth and richness. The 2013 vintage presents a bouquet of ripe red berries, dried flowers, and subtle notes of leather and tobacco, with earthy undertones and a touch of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied yet graceful, with velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. Its harmonious structure promises continued evolution, making it a wine that will only improve with age.
