Fresh and persistent on the nose, the 2012 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva is full-bodied and complex on the palate, with subtle notes of plum, walnut, and caramel, all wrapped in surprising freshness and beautiful balance. Pair it with some lovely grilled prawns...

Review by Mr. THIBAULT E. Published on 12/10/2022

It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of wine. A surprising, unique wine, but one that won’t be to everyone’s taste. It’s a very complex rosé, but quite oxidative. For the curious, it’s a real taste experience. Everyone else, give it a pass.
