Still family-owned after nearly 150 years, the estate makes wines in a deliberately traditional style, relying on extended ageing, old oak barrels and patience rather than modern winemaking fashions. Few producers offer such a remarkable connection to Rioja's history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eViña Tondonia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e comes from the estate's historic vineyard beside the Ebro River. The cooler, wetter 2013 vintage produced a particularly elegant wine, with greater freshness and delicacy than more powerful years. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old wooden vats, it spent six years ageing in American oak before bottling in 2021. Released nearly twelve years after harvest, it's a wonderful example of the estate's famously unhurried approach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDried cherry, redcurrant and plum mingle with tobacco, cedar, leather and fragrant spice. Medium-bodied and beautifully mature, with fine tannins and lively acidity that give the wine remarkable energy. A natural partner for roast lamb, duck, mushroom risotto or aged Manchego. Classic Rioja at its most captivating, with plenty of life still ahead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVinous: 97 Points\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winewise\/Vienna Wine co","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":68042351870269,"sku":null,"price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/6261\/8173\/files\/Tondonia-Molinetta-Wine-Store-Palm-Springs_3bcbff00-e42e-4720-9493-df31b02f4601.jpg?v=1794531836","url":"https:\/\/www.perryspsp.com\/products\/lopez-de-heredia-2013-vina-tondonia-reserva","provider":"Perry's Fine Wines \u0026 Liquors - Palm Springs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
