López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva 2012 – A Rare Rioja Masterpiece

Experience the extraordinary craftsmanship of Spain’s iconic López de Heredia winery with this 2012 Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva—a limited-production rosé that redefines elegance. Aged for four years in American oak barrels, this unique Rioja rosé develops a mesmerizing amber hue and unparalleled complexity, earning 97 points from James Suckling and 96+ from Wine Advocate.

Why This Wine Stands Out:

• Unconventional & Age-Worthy Rosé: A rare blend of 60% Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo, and 10% Viura, evolving into a savory, nutty profile with layers of dried strawberries, blood orange, caramel, and forest floor.
• Exceptional Balance: Bright acidity (pH 3.3) and a modest 12.5% alcohol create a vibrant yet structured palate, finishing with hints of walnut and Oloroso-like depth.
• Critically Acclaimed: Praised for its “zesty acidity” (Suckling) and “textbook complexity” (Wine Advocate), this vintage is among the finest of the modern era.

Perfect for Collectors & Connoisseurs:

With only 15,000 bottles produced, this Gran Reserva is a cellar treasure—best enjoyed from 2022–2035. Ideal for pairing with mushroom risotto, aged cheeses, or Iberico ham.
