Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva 2011 - Lopez De Heredia

Tradition is one of the pillars that have allowed it to continue. Everything is inspired by the past, such as the construction and repair of its own barriques, precise and artisanal thanks to the skill of the master coopers, a feature imitated by few others in the world. It pays attention that the bottles are wrapped in cobwebs, mold and humidity, a peculiarity that the bodega considers the best habitat for the aging of the wine. “Cobwebs are a trap for insects and moths; true enemies of wine and cork; the humidity is an excellent thermal regulator, and the mold allows the bottles not to be disturbed”. The Gran Reserva is bottled directly from the barriques. The slight differences between one bottle and another are due to this. López de Heredia's fame is largely based on the extraordinary freshness of the Gran Reservas, legendary bottles capable of growing over the decades
