Viña Tondonia Reserva: El Buque Insignia

Viña Tondonia Reserva es el icono absoluto y estandarte indiscutible de la célebre bodega R. López de Heredia en la D.O.Ca. Rioja. Considerado uno de los tintos más legendarios del planeta, representa el epítome del lujo silencioso y la sofisticación atemporal, acaparando elogios y puntuaciones estelares de la crítica más exigente.

Nace de un ensamblaje tradicional de Tempranillo (75%), Garnacho (15%), Graciano y Mazuelo. Las uvas proceden exclusivamente del majestuoso viñedo Viña Tondonia, una espectacular península rodeada por el río Ebro en Haro (La Rioja). El suelo, un mosaico aluvial y arcillo-calcáreo, infunde un carácter mineral e inconfundible a las cepas.

Su crianza desafía las leyes del mercado actual. El mosto fermenta en tinos de madera históricos y madura pacientemente durante seis años en barricas de roble americano elaboradas artesanalmente por la propia casa. Se realizan dos trasiegos manuales al año, culminando el proceso con una clarificación tradicional mediante claras de huevo fresco.

Luce un color rubí brillante con ribetes teja. En nariz despliega notas finas de frutos secos, vainilla, tabaco de pipa y especias dulces. Al paladar se muestra extraordinariamente seco, dócil y redondeado, estructurado por una acidez magistral que asegura un final señorial interminable.

2013 / 95 puntos

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...
