Description

Founded in 1877, Viña Tondonia is Rioja’s most iconic traditionalist. Located in the heart of Rioja Alta on a bend of the Ebro River, López de Heredia has remained famously unchanged—aging wines for over six years in barrel and bottling only when ready. The 2012 Reserva blends Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano in a textbook expression: earthy, restrained, and age-worthy. A reference point for lovers of classical Rioja.

Reviewer:Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous
Review:The 2012 Viña Tondonia is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, cultivated on the meander of the Ebro River in Rioja Alta. This garnet wine reveals aromas of ash and plum marmalade, with a faintly herbal core and hints of oaky cedar. Dry and lean, the fairly chalky texture lingers long, concluding with a compact, flavorful and lasting finish. The 2012 is a beautiful old-school Rioja.
