"This is a great vintage for this wine" - 2001 López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Reserva Viña Tondonia

"This is a great vintage for this wine"- Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate This is a hard wine to part with. Early in the summer we bought a mixed parcel of choice Lopez - '95 Tondonia Gran Reserva, '96 Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva and '01 Tondonia Blanco Reserva. We offered the first two and sat on the 2001.

Mind-Bending Complexity:
1996 López de Heredia Rioja Blanco
Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia

Simply put, López de Heredia's whites are special wines. They occupy an important place for many of us at Crush. Among the great bottles that we've drunk is a 1957 that has assumed legendary status.
