Viña Tondonia 6 Year Old Rioja​

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.

The neck label states this wine to be a Crianza classification, meaning it has spent a minimum period of 12 months in oak and a further minimum period of 12 month in the bottle prior to release; however, the main label states \"6 ano\" indicating it has been aged for 6 years - presumably in oak barrels, which would usually classify it as a Gran Reserva rather than Crianza.

[GEEK EDIT]:  The current terminology of Crianza, Reserva & Gran Reserva only came into 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 labelling and so continued to label his wines as before: with the neck-label stating \"Crianza\" (ie. \"Aged in oak\") and main-label stating \"6 ano\" (6 years).
