🌟 A timeless Rioja—complex, elegant, and beautifully mature.

👁 In the Glass:
Garnet with brick-orange hues—classic and evolved.

👃 On the Nose:
Incredibly complex. Aromas of wild strawberry, dried cherry, and cranberry are layered with notes of tea leaf, leather, tobacco, cedar, and a gentle earthiness. Subtle and endlessly nuanced.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky and refined. Red fruits and dried herbs glide over a delicate structure, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Hints of spice, cured meat, and old leather emerge through the long, savoury finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast lamb, jamón ibérico, aged Manchego, or wild mushroom dishes. A sophisticated match for rustic yet refined cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now, but can cellar for 10–15+ years, evolving further in complexity and elegance.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Viña Tondonia Reserva is Rioja at its most traditional and noble—layered, soulful, and made to age. A wine that invites reflection and rewards patience with every glass.
