Experience the Elegance of Rioja’s Finest: 2010 Viña Tondonia Reserva
Crafted by the revered R. Lopez de Heredia in Spain’s iconic Rioja region, this 2010 Reserva embodies decades of winemaking mastery. A sophisticated blend of Tempranillo (70%), Garnacho (20%), Graciano (5%), and Mazuelo (5) creates a wine of remarkable depth and complexity – ready to captivate discerning collectors and enthusiasts seeking an exceptional Spanish red.
Unlock layers of evolved aromas: imagine sun-dried cherry and wild berries intertwined with distinctive notes of iron, spiced orange peel, forest floor, and subtle hints of tobacco and fine cedar. The palate delivers a masterful balance – creamy texture meets muscular yet polished tannins, revealing juicy berry fruit, earthy spices, graphite, and a captivating savory edge of dried mint or eucalyptus on the enduring finish. This medium-to-full-bodied red showcases the signature elegance and serious structure expected from Tondonia.
