CELLAR INFORMATION Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva is the fullest expression of the philosophy of R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia and is made using artisanal methods: grapes selected from the winery’s own vineyards, fermentation in wooden vats, a very long 6-year stint in barrels, twice-yearly racking, clarification with fresh egg whites, and bottling without filtering. VINEYARD INFORMATION The 2011 vintage, like 2010, was classified by the Rioja DOCa as ‘excellent’. Marked, once again, by a very low rainfall (25% lower than ‘normal’ for the region), the vintage was also notable for the high temperatures in September and October which resulted in López de Heredia starting to pick Tempranillo on 26th September, a full week earlier than in 2010, finishing with Graciano and Mazuelo on 13th October. The finished results were once again, exceptional. Viña Tondonia Reserva 2011 is a superb wine made with great patience. It’s designed from a blend of Tempranillo (70%), Garnacha (20%), and Graciano and Mazuelo (10%) grapes from the firm’s most iconic vineyard (Viña Tondonia).
