Hand-harvested fruit ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in historic oak vats before undergoing 6 full years of aging in neutral American oak barrels crafted in the estate’s own cooperage. The prolonged wood aging is balanced by gentle racking twice a year and a light fining with fresh egg whites prior to bottling without filtration. This is a timeless, traditional Rioja defined by patience, tertiary depth, and structural harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep ruby color with brick highlights introduces savory aromas of dried cherry, tobacco leaf, cedar box, and dried orange peel. The palate delivers classic flavors of tart red plum, leather, clove, and sweet forest floor, supported by silky, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant line of natural acidity. The mid-palate has an elegant, light-to-medium weight that feels both polished and energetic. It finishes long, dry, and distinctly savory, leaving a lasting impression of crushed stone, dried herbs, and toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lopez de Heredia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410896326896,"sku":"XM","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Comingsoon.png?v=1768455940","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/r-lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-reserva-2013","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
