R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva 2001

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva 2001 is an exceptionally rare white Rioja from one of Spain’s most respected historic producers. Crafted in the traditional style and released only after extended cellar aging, it offers the kind of depth, complexity, and character that make old-vine, long-aged whites so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a beautiful golden hue that immediately signals maturity and slow evolution. The nose is fragrant, consistent, and highly complex, with an elegant, perfumed profile that unfolds gradually. On the palate, the wine is round, smooth, and layered, carrying persistent aromas through a long, refined finish. Its extended aging has given it impressive harmony and nuance, and it should continue to hold beautifully for years in bottle, gaining even more tertiary depth over time.

Production
Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva 2001 is made from 90% Viura and 10% Malvasía, sourced from the Rioja terroir that López de Heredia has long worked with such patience and precision. The wine is traditionally vinified and then aged for 10 years in oak barrels before spending additional years in bottle prior to release, a hallmark of the producer’s slow, classic approach to winemaking.

Food & Serving
This is a contemplative white wine that pairs beautifully with fine seafood, roast poultry, mature cheeses, truffled dishes, and elegant mushroom-based plates. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting if you want to let its aromas fully open after the bottle has been rested for some time.

Producer
