{"product_id":"r-lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-tinto-reserva-2012","title":"R Lopez de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rioja Tinto Reserva 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully balanced, old-school Rioja. It shows the hallmark savoury depth and longevity that have made Viña Tondonia one of Spain’s most revered wines. It’s layered with aromatics of dried cherry, raspberry and plum, with leather, tobacco, cedar, sweet spice and orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with freshness, polished tannins and finely textured structure. It’s graceful rather than powerful. The 2012 vintage is a classic blend led by Tempranillo with Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, matured for six years in old American oak before further bottle ageing, giving the wine its signature complexity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1877, R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia is one of the great traditional estates of Rioja. Still family-owned, the winery remains fiercely committed to long ageing, large old oak barrels, and patient, low-intervention winemaking. From the estate’s historic vineyards, including the famed Viña Tondonia planted along the banks of the Ebro, traditional varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo are farmed with organic methods. Time is the defining ingredient, with wines often ageing for years in the winery’s own cooperage-made barrels, before extended bottle maturation. The result is unmistakable - savoury, beautifully evolved Rioja that speak profoundly of tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R Lopez de Heredia Viña Tondonia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48159715590299,"sku":"12715","price":118.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0486\/3403\/6379\/files\/Vina-Tondonia-Reserva.jpg?v=1774142751","url":"https:\/\/bythebottle.co.nz\/products\/r-lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-tinto-reserva-2012","provider":"By The Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
