López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2012, Rioja

Ebro · camaro · La Bodega Vieja 

Latest vintage release from this historic winery (already 13 years in bottle).  Conditions were hot and dry for the 2012 vintage, resulting in slightly more concentrated wines. LDH decided to extend the barrel aging (6 years) which allowed for better harmony of tannins and fruit. Dry, smooth and rich, herbal and aromatic, as rose petals and violets lead to a wild forest sensation, polished and balanced – once again, classic Tondonia.

D.O.Ca. Rioja          

Grapes: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo
