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.

La Rioja Alta Reserva \"890\" 1962

In 1890, 5 families from the north of Spain, each passionate about wines, established the Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta - The Wine Society of the Rioja Alta.  A few years later, in 1904, one of these founding-members proposed the merger of his Ardanza winery with the society and thus the creation of La Rioja Alta S.A.

The \"890\" is today LRA's absolute flagship wine, second to none - and along with their \"904\" is released only on exceptional years.  The \"Reserva 890\" is the predecessor to the current \"Gran Reserva 890.\"  This wine is from the 1962 vintage, a blend of old-vine Tempranillo (95%) with Graciano (3%) and Mazuelo (2%) which has been matured for 6 years in American oak barrels.
