López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2009 Magnum is a benchmark Rioja Reserva from one of Spain’s most revered traditional producers. Crafted with exceptional patience and aged far beyond the legal minimum, it offers a rare combination of purity, elegance, and complex maturity that makes magnum format especially appealing for long-term cellaring and slow evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Reserva shows a refined, mature ruby-garnet hue with the graceful depth expected of well-aged Rioja. The nose is beautifully layered, with ultra-clean red berry aromas leading into damp forest floor, moss, mushrooms, and a subtle touch of cigar box from long oak aging. On the palate, it is silky and composed, with creamy red fruit, fine acidity, and a quiet but persistent depth that unfolds slowly rather than loudly.\n\nThis is a wine built for contemplation rather than immediate impact, and its restrained style rewards patience. The magnum format should support further graceful development over many years, allowing the earthy, savory, and spicy dimensions to continue integrating alongside the fresh red-fruited core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Viña Tondonia, López de Heredia’s flagship vineyard in Rioja, where old-vine fruit and classic site expression form the backbone of the wine. The blend is rooted in Tempranillo and Garnacha, with smaller portions of Graciano and Mazuelo contributing aromatic lift, structure, and complexity. True to the estate’s traditional philosophy, the wine spends an unusually long time in barrel and bottle before release, resulting in a style shaped by slow oxidation, extended maturation, and meticulous cellar work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest enjoyed with dishes that complement its earthy elegance, such as roast lamb, game birds, mushroom risotto, braised veal, or aged Manchego. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting gently if the wine seems tightly wound on opening, though a leisurely pour into the glass is often enough for its bouquet to unfold naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLópez de Heredia is one of the most historic names in Rioja, founded in the late 19th century and still celebrated for its steadfast commitment to traditional winemaking. The estate is regarded as a guardian of classic Rioja style, with long aging, large-format barrels, and minimal intervention defining its approach. Its wines have earned international acclaim for their longevity, finesse, and unmistakable sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"López de Heredia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122459844850,"sku":"FW-7001","price":107.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/vina_tondonia_reserva_nv_1_5.png?v=1777476143","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/r-lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-reserva-2009-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
