Viña Tondonia Reserva 2011
HK$ 425.94
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Viña Tondonia Reserva is darker and shows riper fruit, a rounder palate and some dusty tannins. A year of ripeness, concentration and tannin, the wine is powerful with the finesse of Tondonia. Tasting this next to the textbook 2010 Tondonia revealed how this has more muscle and a wider back and the 2010 epitomizes the finesse and elegance. 270,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.

Description
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a red wine made from classic varietals such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. This wine is produced by the Bodega López de Heredia Viña Tondonia in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja.
The grapes used to make this wine come from a vineyard that is more than 50 years old and measures approximately 150 hectares located on the right bank of the Ebro River, at an altitude between 438 and 489 metres above sea level.
The vineyard is located on soils ranging from alluvial to clay-limestone, with the presence of gravel and pebbles.
Winemaking
Viña Tondonia Reserva is made using a traditional vinification process. The grapes are harvested by hand. Once in the winery, the grapes go through a destemmer and the must ferments with the skins in large oak vats of 240 hectolitres. The wine is aged for 6 years, subjected to 2 annual rackings and clarified with egg whites before being bottled unfiltered.
