2007 López de Heredia "Viña Tondonia" Rioja Reserva, Rioja, Spain 1.5L MAG
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced entirely from the historic Viña Tondonia vineyard—a 100-hectare parcel along the Ebro River in Rioja Alta—the 2007 Reserva is composed primarily of Tempranillo, with Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo completing the blend. The wine is fermented with native yeasts in 140-year-old oak vats, then aged for 6 years in old American oak barrels, racked twice yearly, and bottled unfiltered.
The magnum format (1.5L) allows for a slower, more graceful evolution, preserving freshness and detail over time. 2007 was a cooler, more structured vintage, and this wine reflects that with lifted aromatics, fine-grained tannins, and a precise mineral edge. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled mushrooms, Manchego, or Iberico ham.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Founded in 1877, R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia is one of Rioja’s most revered traditional bodegas and among the oldest in Spain. Still family-owned and operated in Haro, the estate adheres strictly to time-honored practices: long aging in well-seasoned barrels, minimal intervention, and extended bottle maturation before release.
Wines like Viña Tondonia Reserva are benchmarks of classical Rioja—built for longevity, yet offering remarkable elegance and transparency even in youth. The house’s patience and philosophical devotion to slow winemaking continue to set it apart in a world of immediacy. The 2007 Reserva in magnum is not just a wine—it’s an enduring testament to heritage, terroir, and time.
