Description

"Viña Tondonia, located in the heart of the Rioja Alta region, is one of the most famous names in all of Spain, its reputation built on a superb terroir of alluvial clay and limestone and a gentle sloping aspect close to the Ebro River. The superlative 2001 vintage has yielded a Reserva of huge charm, wonderful complexity and un-nerving potential.

The wine is made from three quarters Tempranillo with the balance shared evenly between Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. It has been aged for 6 years in American oak, with racking taking place twice every year. A traditional Rioja par excellence, the 2001, marries fruit and spice, charcuterie, vanillin and earthy richness; a cornucopia of quality in other words and one which will continue to get better and better." - Simon Field MW


"Rioja, 13% abv, Cork. Quite subdued, some creamy and earthy berries, but not exuberant. Nice little gamy notes have developed. The palate has a cherry and orange freshness, with a cool character and very nice balance, though perhaps the fruit could sing a little more, it has lovely elegance and length and will probably age extremely well.
Summer Berrys 2011."

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VINTAGE:
Recorded by The Regulating Council as Excellent. We harvested 892.065 kilos. There
was a frost on April 15th that with only 1 degree below cero damaged around 40
to 50% of the production in Viña Cubillo but not in Viña Bosconia neither in Viña
Tondonia. In relation to the quality it was extraordinary due to the very dry summer
that stopped any problem with fungus. The grapes arrived to the winery in very healthy
conditions. We started harvesting the white grapes on Monday October the 8th
and with the read grapes on the 15th which is the average date for harvesting in Rioja Alta.
The harvest took place with very good weather lasting 21 days and we finished on
October the 29th.

The grapes showed a good maturation of the fruit and even a bit
higher than the average for Rioja Alta. These wines have become of a great balance and
will be able to bottle aged improving even more.

COLOUR: Vibrant red leading slightly towards amber.

NOSE: Light fresh texture with notes of vanilla and dried berry aromas.
