This is white Rioja from the region's most stubbornly traditional house, and it's a rare chance to taste what patience can do for a white wine. Lopez de Heredia makes its Tondonia Blanco from Viura and Malvasía, all from the family's own vineyards. Using only estate fruit is unusual in Rioja. The Tondonia vineyard is a shell-shaped bowl of more than 100 hectares on the right bank of the Ebro, with alluvial clay soils high in limestone, farmed organically and fermented with natural yeasts. In the cellar the house takes its time. The Blanco Reserva rests unfiltered in bottle. Very few cellars anywhere still work like this. Don't serve it fridge-cold: the producer recommends cellar temperature, around 14–16°C.

More about Lopez de Heredia

Four generations of the López de Heredia family have guarded Rioja's traditions since 1877 in Haro. They age their wines for years in old American oak barrels and then in bottle, releasing them only when they are ready, often a decade or more after the vintage. Four estate vineyards, Tondonia, Bosconia, Cubillo and Gravonia, cover about 170 hectares, and the long-aged whites are some of Spain's greatest. This is what patience looks like.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Jamón ibérico, grilled hake or turbot with salsa verde, seafood paella, wild mushroom risotto, roast chicken with garlic and thyme, aged Manchego or Idiazabal.

Tasting Profile

Expect the house's long-aged, traditional white Rioja style: Viura that has traded fresh fruit for dried citrus peel, beeswax, chamomile, toasted nuts and a gentle, almost sherry-like savouriness. Typically dry and medium-bodied, with a waxy texture held up by bright, lasting acidity and a long, saline finish.
