This is a wine with real historic pedigree, capturing the long-lived character that has made López de Heredia a reference point for Gran Reserva Rioja.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 2004 shows a deep ruby hue with the kind of graceful evolution expected from a mature Rioja of this calibre. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of dried fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, and a subtle touch of vanilla from its long oak ageing. On the palate, it is dry, refined, and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and flavours of ripe berries, nuts, balsamic notes, and gentle savoury complexity. The finish is long and persistent, reflecting both its finesse and its remarkable ageing potential. While fully enjoyable now, it can continue to develop gracefully for many years.

Viininvalmistus
Viña Tondonia comes from Rioja’s historic Tondonia estate, where López de Heredia works in a deeply traditional style that emphasizes long ageing and careful handling. The grapes are sourced for a classic Rioja blend, with Tempranillo supported by Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, giving structure, perfume, and ageing capacity. The wine is matured for around 10 years in total, including six years in old American oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing before release, allowing it to gain its signature complexity and harmony.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Gran Reserva is a superb match for roasted lamb, game, slow-cooked meats, and aged cheeses, where its savoury depth and acidity can shine. It is best served slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and will benefit from decanting if served young from release, though older bottles should be opened with care to preserve their delicate aromatics.
