Description
R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2011
Rioja’s Timeless Elegance in Every Sip
Crafted by Spain’s iconic R. López de Heredia estate, this 2011 Tempranillo embodies Rioja’s soul with remarkable depth. Aged to perfection, it unveils layered aromas of iron-rich earth, sun-dried tobacco leaves, and spiced plums—interwoven with vibrant orange zest and vanilla whispers.
Critic-Adored Complexity
– 95 pts James Suckling: “Juicy yet structured, featuring savory tannins and a zesty texture that dances on the palate.”
– 94 pts Wine Advocate: “A powerful expression of Tondonia—muscular yet refined, with ripe fruit concentration and velvety tannins.”
Sensory Journey
Expect a luminous ruby-amber hue leading to a silky, bone-dry palate. Red cherry and dried berries merge with firm tannins for exceptional balance. The finish? Unforgettable—long, fresh, and sophisticated. At 13% alcohol, it’s poised for immediate enjoyment or graceful cellaring.
Why This Vintage Stands Out
While the acclaimed 2010 vintage epitomizes finesse, this 2011 bottling showcases bolder intensity—a harmonious blend of power and elegance that collectors cherish. Ideal for pairing with roasted lamb or aged cheeses.
