Bodegas Rafael López de Heredia Viña Tondonia was founded in 1877 in Haro by Don Rafael López de Heredia. This historic winery represents the purest classical tradition of Rioja’s Denomination of Origin. Since its beginnings, it has been a family estate, currently managed by the fourth generation, represented by the three López Heredia Montoya siblings (María José, Mercedes, and Julio). Bodegas López de Heredia uses grapes grown in its own vineyard, acquired by the founder’s great-grandfather. Staying true to tradition, they are committed to artisanal production—fermenting in wooden vats, manual rackings, and very long aging periods in barrel and bottle. López de Heredia crafts its own barrels by hand, being the only winery in Spain with its own cooperage workshop. Their red, white, and even rosé wines are recognized for their extraordinary longevity. Without a doubt, López de Heredia wines are highly valued, coveted, and considered essential in the cellar of any wine enthusiast or professional.

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 2004 Blanco is one of the great white wines of Spain and the world—a true oenological gem. Tondonia Blanco Gran Reservas are only made in exceptional vintages and in very limited quantities. The wine ages for ten years in American oak barrels made by the winery itself. It undergoes two rackings per year and is bottled unfiltered. The blend consists of Viura (85%) and Malvasia (15%), all from their own vineyards planted in 1913 and 1914.

2004 was rated an Excellent vintage by the Regulatory Council.
