Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 1973

Bodegas López de Heredia is located by Haro, in the heart of the Rioja Alta region.  One of the first 3 commercial wine houses to be built, the history and success of the region and the estate are closely linked.

Viña Tondonia is one of the cellars of the renowned Rioja estate, Bodegas López de Heredia.  A blend of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacho (15%), Graciano and Mazuelo together contributing only 10%, aged in oak barrels for 10 years.  Confusingly, the main label is that of Viña Tondonia's Gran Reserva releases, while the cap-label asserts the wine to be only \"Rioja de Crianza.\"

[GEEK EDIT]:  The current terminology of Crianza, Reserva & Gran Reserva only came into official use following a Royal-Decree in 1979; prior to which the term \"Crianza\" meant simply that the wine had been aged in oak barrels; Don Pedro López Heredia, lawyer and co-owner of Viña Tondonia, was notable in his objection to this new system of categorisation and so continued to label his wines as before: with the neck-label stating only \"Crianza\" (ie. simply meaning \"Aged in oak\").  The main-label is however the same as those of later vintages which did carry the Gran Reserva terminology.
