LOPEZ DE HEREDIA TONDONIA RESERVA 2008

López de Heredia – Viña Tondonia Reserva 2008

Rioja, Spain – One of the world’s great traditional wineries

A benchmark Rioja crafted with absolute dedication to tradition, Tondonia Reserva 2008 is a beautiful expression of long-aged, classical Rioja. López de Heredia releases their wines only when fully matured, allowing them to show extraordinary complexity, finesse, and harmony.

Profile:
• Aromatic: Dried cherry, red currant, leather, cedar, sweet tobacco, vanilla, and fine spice
• Palate: Silky and elegant, with delicate red fruit, earthy undertones, and perfectly integrated oak
• Texture: Medium-bodied and incredibly refined, supported by soft tannins and bright acidity
• Finish: Long, savoury, and beautifully persistent, with notes of balsamic herbs and dried flowers

Style Notes:
A classic blend dominated by Tempranillo, aged for years in the estate’s old American oak barrels and then further in bottle. The 2008 vintage is now in a wonderful drinking window, offering both complexity and graceful maturity.

Pairing Suggestions:
Ideal with lamb, roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, aged Manchego, or any course featuring earthy, savoury flavours
