One of the most singular white wines on earth: a Rioja blanco from a house whose cellars, carved out of solid rock fifty feet underground, hold 12,900 American oak barrels. López de Heredia has been at it since 1877, and the family that founded it still owns it. They make Tondonia Blanco Reserva the way they always have. It's all from their own vineyards, fermented only with the natural yeasts living in the old cellar, racked twice a year and fined with fresh egg whites. Then it's bottled unfiltered and left to rest some more before release. The vines sit in the Tondonia vineyard, a shell-shaped hollow on the right bank of the Ebro, planted on alluvial clay with a lot of limestone in it. The family's own advice is to serve it at cellar temperature (57–61°F) rather than fridge-cold, so take it out of the refrigerator a while before pouring.

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

Bacalao al pil-pil, merluza en salsa verde, grilled sea bass or turbot, garlicky grilled prawns, or herb-roasted chicken.

Tasting Profile

Expect the traditional, long-aged style of white Rioja: Viura showing lemon peel, dried apple and beeswax alongside nutty, gently savoury notes, with a faint saline edge that recalls fino sherry. It's bone-dry and medium-bodied, with a textured, layered palate held up by fresh, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish. It's a style built to age.
