Beginning to drink very well. Plenty of silky tannin, elegance and structure that suggest this is just starting to enter its prime drinking window.

Red fruit on the noseanx then a lot of cherry and pepper alongside tobacco on the tongue. An excellent pair did beef fillet.

On a different day, this might have felt overoaked to me. Aging it for so long on the barrels gives it a unique taste. Aging it for longer

Excellent wine but would have liked a bit more vanilla/tobacco. It feels very fruity and young although aged for 6 years. Nice notes of coconut

Lovely but would drink it this young, why would you. Excellent but when you know how it develops you want to wait for the magic to unfold.

Latest vintage of this old-school Rioja of the highest quality. 2012 was a very dry year, with 25% less rain than average, resulting in low yields

Description

Vino de tono rubí luminoso con sutiles matices teja en el borde de la copa. En nariz se muestra elegante, fresco y con delicados toques tostados que se entrelazan con notas de vainilla. Destaca por su marcada persistencia aromática. En boca resulta seco, envolvente y sedoso, con una estructura redonda y plenamente evolucionada.

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2013 es un vino tinto seco de la prestigiosa D.O.Ca. Rioja, elaborado con un coupage clásico: 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho y un 5% de Graciano y Mazuelo. El viñedo de Viña Tondonia, plantado entre 1913 y 1914 por Don Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta, se ha convertido en el símbolo más reconocido de la bodega. Sus más de 100 hectáreas en la margen derecha del río Ebro producen uvas con la esencia más pura del carácter riojano.

La añada 2013 se caracterizó por ser especialmente lluviosa, con 753 litros frente a la media de 530 en Haro, y también más fresca, lo que retrasó la maduración y obligó a iniciar la vendimia el 7 de octubre. Una cosecha complicada que, pese al riesgo de botrytis, dio lugar a vinos de gran finura y autenticidad.

La fermentación se llevó a cabo en tinos de roble viejo con levaduras autóctonas, y la crianza se realizó en barricas de roble americano usadas durante al menos seis años en las históricas cavas de la bodega. Con 13% de alcohol, pH 3,4 y una acidez de 6,6 g/l, este vino demuestra el equilibrio y la complejidad que lo distinguen.

Se produjeron 190.000 botellas, embotelladas en noviembre de 2021. Su lanzamiento tuvo lugar en la primavera de 2025, tras casi doce años de espera, consolidándose como una de las añadas más esperadas de Viña Tondonia. Hoy puedes comprar vino online y disfrutar en tu mesa de una auténtica leyenda del Rioja, fiel reflejo de la tradición y el prestigio de López de Heredia.
