Viña Tondonia Reserva, made with Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, is an extraordinary wine that is enjoyed on its own, round, silky, and elegant. A true delight.
López de Heredia Winery, the oldest in Haro, was founded in 1877 and, like a wine cathedral, remains unfinished. In 1913, the Tondonia vineyard was planted, giving rise to its most well-known product.
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacha (15%), Graciano, and Mazuelo (10%) grape varieties. Characteristics of the harvest: Year qualified as EXCELLENT by the Regulatory Council of Rioja. The amount harvested in the approximately 154 hectares of vineyard in operation during the year 2001, corresponding to the four estates, was 892,065 kilograms of grapes. The quality was extraordinary as the summer was very dry and, consequently, not prone to the development of parasitic pests and fungal diseases. The fruit arrived at the winery in perfect health conditions. The white grape harvest began on Monday, October 8th, and the red grape harvest started a week later, on October 15th, which is a normal date for Rioja Alta. It lasted 21 days, with relatively good weather, and ended on October 29th. The grapes showed excellent fruit ripening, perhaps even excessive in our area, which is located in Rioja Alta and is the limit for vine cultivation due to solar influence. The resulting wines have great balance and indicate very good and long bottle aging.
Aging in barrels: 6 years, subjected to 2 rackings per year. Clarified with fresh egg whites. Bottle aging: The rest, bottled without filtering, in 75 and 37.5 cl bottles.
Viña Tondonia Reserva is ideal to accompany all types of meats, semi-cured cheeses, and cured meats. It is recommended to decant this wine before consuming and serve it at a temperature between 16 and 18ºC.
