“The 2007 Viña Tondonia Reserva red is a beautiful wine, displaying unusual finesse and elegance. The nose is somewhat reserved but nuanced and complex, more shy than explosive. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with very refined tannins. This must be one of the best vintages of Viña Tondonia Reserva in recent years. ” (Wine Advocate 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez)

About the wine:

Following the tasting of María José López de Heredia’s 2007 vintage, the 2007 Viña Tondonia Reserva red wine presents itself beautifully, revealing unusual finesse and elegance. The nose is somewhat reserved but nuanced and complex, more subdued than explosive. The palate is medium-bodied, and the tannins are very refined. This must be one of the best vintages of Viña Tondonia Reserva in recent years. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2015.

Tasted in May 2024. Ruby red in color. The nose offers aromas of very ripe fruit and a hint of menthol. The palate is round and supple, with good length.

A good Rioja that’s reached its peak, but a bit overrated, in my opinion... Very average value for the money...
