R Lopéz de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rioja Reserva Tinto 2013 is a medium-bodied , blended red wine from the Rioja region of Spain. Lopez de Heredia is one of the most celebrated names in Rioja winemaking, producing steadfastly traditional Rioja wines from its iconic bodega in Haro since the late 19th century. American oak is preferred to French, while the estate`s wines undergo extended maturation in barrel – from six years up to 10 years for the Gran Reservas – before release.

The canonical red 2013 Viña Tondonia Reserva has a developed nose of dried roses and tar that transported me to Piamonte but soon took me back to the López de Heredia cellars in Haro with the mixture of mushrooms, truffles, damp earth and decayed leaves, hints of brick dust and spice. 2013 was a rainy year, with 753 liters of it, well above the average of 530 liters in Haro. It was also a cooler year, and the ripeness was slow, so they didn`t start picking until the seventh of October, but they had to hurry up because of the risk of botrytis. The crop was not so big, because they suffered from hail in July that affected the Viña Tondonia, coupled with strong winds that broke many branches. The breakdown in 2013 comes to 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Graciano and Mazuelo that fermented in old oak vats with indigenous yeasts. All the wines age in old American oak barrels in their caves, in this case for no less than six years. It comes in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.4 and 6.6 grams of acidity, perhaps a lighter vintage with higher acidity that translates into a lot of energy, a fine-boned palate and very fine tannins with a vibrant finish. 190,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. It should be released in the spring of 2025, almost 12 years after the harvest. And look at the price... - Luis Gutiérrez

Mastery of traditional Rioja winemaking

A fixture in El Barrio del Estacion de Haro since 1877, R López de Heredia (also known as Viña Tondonia) is the prototypical traditionalist Rioja. Managed by Maria José López de Heredia and her winemaker sister, Mercedes, López de Heredia has mastered the ability to craft profound, long-lived wines in large volumes. Key to its success is its terroir – the grapes, soil and microclimate of its patch of Rioja Alta (all López de Heredia wines are produced with estate-grown fruit). Another factor is its insistence on extended ageing, in barrel and bottle, before releasing its wines. The flagship Viña Tondonia reserva, for example, is aged for five to six years in barrel (used American oak, Bordeaux-sized barrels), then up to a further six years in bottle before release; their longevity is legendary.

The reds start with Viña Cubillo: a crianza that is more akin to a Gran Reserva. Then there are the more concentrated Viña Bosconia and Viña Tondonia reservas. Bosconia is soft, full-bodied and earthy; Tondonia more finely structured and elegant. Both are Tempranillo-based, with smaller proportions of Mazuelo and Graciano. Look out for the oxidative white, Viña Gravonia, made from Viura grown in the estate’s Zaconia vineyard.
