Rioja, Spain
R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia
López de Heredia is a family winery in Rioja, Spain, that has barely changed how it makes wine since the 1870s — long barrel aging, no shortcuts. Tondonia Reserva spends years in old oak before release, so it arrives already mellow and earthy rather than bold and fruity.
