This means that the wines are made in the classical, wood aged style and only released when they are ready, which can be an acquired taste, but these are great, classical Riojas. VINEYARDS Lopez de Heredia is based in the Rioja Alta region of Rioja, in the town of Haro. All the vineyards are managed and havested by hand. GRAPE VARIETIES 75% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho, 5% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano VINIFICATION Grapes are de-stalked and then the must is fermented in large oak vats of 240 hectolitres capacity using natural yeasts at a maximum temperature of 36 degrees. The cap is frequently punched down. The wines then go through malolatic and are then racked into oak barriques, where they are aged for six years. TASTING NOTE The 1998 Tondonia Reserva exhibits a garnet-ruby colour with orange at the rim. Sweet, fragrant notes of tobacco smoke, dried herbs, plums, and currants are followed by a Pinot Noir - like finesse and a lovely mid-weight gaminess - It has extremely moorish flavours and is a wine to enjoy over the next 5 years.
