Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva 2012

Description

Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva is a rosé wine made with Garnacha, Tempranillo and a small percentage of Viura. This wine has been created by the Bodega López de Heredia Viña Tondonia in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja.
These grape varieties come from Viña Gravonia, Viña Tondonia, Viña Cubillas and Viña Bosconia, all of which are their own vineyards located in the Rioja town of Haro, capital of La Rioja Alta.
The vineyards are planted on soils ranging from alluvial to clay-limestone, with the presence of gravel and pebbles and a microclimate with an Atlantic influence.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand, bunch by bunch. Once in the winery, the must ferments in large oak vats of 60 hectolitres. The ageing process lasts 4 years in oak barrels, with 2 rackings per year. The wine is then clarified with fresh egg whites and bottled unfiltered.

Taste

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rosé is a wine of great complexity and volume with floral and spicy notes. In the mouth it is fresh and smooth, but full-bodied due to its ageing in oak barrels.

A complex and gastronomic rosé wine.

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rosé is a rosé wine that is only produced during exceptional vintages. It is a very different wine to what we are used to.
As an exceptional wine, it is the ideal accompaniment for a wide variety of dishes. It goes extraordinarily well with spicy and spicy food. It is also the perfect accompaniment to cured meats.
