To step back inside the López de Heredia winery is to step back in time. Founded in 1877, and little changed since, López de Heredia might not be quite the oldest winery in Rioja, but they are certainly the most tradition bound and least changed. You read a lot of marketing fluff about ‘family winemaking tradition’, but at López de Heredia, it’s real. Maria José López de Heredia and her winemaker sister, Mercedes, couldn’t care less about wine fashions. They've been producing wines in the style their great grandfather did, where their wines slumber in their deep cellars for many years before release. The quest for perfection is of utmost importance, and no wine is released until it is ready.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja 2011

The Wine Rack

80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho and 5% between Graciano and Mazuelo matured in used American oak barrels for five years.

An unashamedly traditional Rioja - Bosconia in particular shows an earthier, wilder edge that feels gloriously old school. These wines have that paradoxical lightness and depth and that can live for years
