Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep golden hue that hints at its extended crianza. The nose is layered and distinctive, with notes of dried citrus, chamomile, roasted nuts, beeswax, subtle spice and gentle oxidative tones that add breadth rather than heaviness. On the palate, it is dry, textured and savory, with lively acidity balancing its creamy, rounded mouthfeel. Flavors of lemon peel, baked apple, almond and herbs unfold slowly, finishing with impressive length and finesse. This is a white wine built for development, with excellent aging potential that can reward cellaring for many years.

Production
Viña Gravonia comes from Rioja, where López de Heredia works with traditional methods that emphasize patience and expression of place. The Macabeo grapes are sourced from carefully maintained vineyards and harvested by hand, then vinified and aged using the estate’s time-honored approach, including long maturation in oak and bottle before release.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with rich seafood, roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, aged cheeses and Spanish classics such as bacalao or paella with shellfish. Serve it slightly cool, around 10–12°C, and consider decanting if the bottle is showing especially developed aromas, as a little air can help the wine open up beautifully.

Producer
López de Heredia Tondonia is one of Rioja’s most iconic and historic producers, founded in the 19th century and renowned for preserving a deeply traditional style of winemaking. The estate is celebrated for its long-aged wines, exceptional consistency and unwavering commitment to classic Rioja methods, making it a benchmark name for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
