R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva 2011

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva 2011 is a rare and beautifully ageworthy rosé from one of Rioja’s most iconic traditional producers. Made from a classic blend of Garnacho, Tempranillo, and Viura, it offers the kind of depth, freshness, and complexity that sets it apart from almost every other rosé on the market.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a graceful, delicate rosé hue with the patina that only time can bring. The nose is fresh and refined, with lifted aromas that remain lively despite its age, while the palate is long, layered, and surprisingly full, balancing red-fruit nuance, citrus lift, and a savoury, complex character. What makes this wine especially compelling is its remarkable persistence and structure. The extended ageing gives it an extra dimension of texture and harmony, and it has the freshness and balance to continue evolving beautifully in bottle for years to come.

Production
Sourced from Rioja and crafted in the traditional style for which López de Heredia is renowned, this Gran Reserva Rosado reflects meticulous old-school winemaking. The blend is composed of 60% Garnacho, 30% Tempranillo, and 10% Viura, with the wine matured for four years in oak barrels before further bottle ageing prior to release, allowing it to develop exceptional complexity and integration.

Food & Serving
This rosado is wonderfully versatile at the table and works especially well with grilled seafood, roast poultry, cured meats, rice dishes, and flavourful Mediterranean cuisine. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider a gentle decant if desired to let its aromas unfold fully.

Producer
López de Heredia is one of Rioja’s most historic and respected bodegas, celebrated for its unwavering dedication to traditional winemaking and long ageing. Based in Haro, the winery has built an enduring reputation for wines of remarkable longevity, precision, and character, and remains a benchmark producer for classic Rioja across red, white, and rosé styles.
