Tasting Note

The wine shows a vibrant red color with subtle hints of amber at the rim, reflecting its graceful maturity. On the nose, it offers a delicate, lifted bouquet featuring notes of dried berries and a touch of vanilla, wrapped in a light, fresh aromatic texture. The palate is rich and dry, with a smooth, well-evolved character. Firm yet integrated tannins provide structure, while the wine maintains excellent balance and depth throughout the finish.

Product Notes

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva wine is a distinguished Spanish red, gracefully aged for a minimum period of six years. This refined ensemble of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo presents a captivating blend of blackcurrants, liquorice, and cloves on the nose. Hints of vanilla add a touch of elegance, courtesy of its time in American Oak barrels. An exemplar of its Rioja roots; the wine’s rich, plummy body harmonises with its subtle smoky undertones and velvety finish. Enjoy a bottle, and indulge in its timeless Spanish charm. Suitable for vegans, it epitomises tasteful sophistication.

The very architecture of the estate, a blend of modern and traditional designs, radiates the winery's philosophy beautifully showcasing how tradition and innovation can exist simultaneously.
