This is the current, stateside release of the incomparable, Gran Reserva white wine from R. Lopez de Heredia Viņa Tondonia, the classic standard bearer of quality, traditional Rioja produced in the same bodega founded by Rafael Lopez de Heredia y Landeta in the late 19th century. Composed of mainly old vine Viura with roughly 15% old vine Malvasia from the rotunda shaped Viņa Tondonia, this wine is fermented in decades old, huge oak "tinas" before being racked to old American oak barrels and aged for years prior to bottling, at which point it ages some more. They are in no rush to make this wine, just as you should be in no hurry to drink this amazing elixir (though I would rush to buy this; as demand has increased and supplies remain the same, the availability has decreased as prices have steadily inched upwards for these classic wines).
