Lopez de Heredia Tondonia Reserva Blanc 2013

“The 2013 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva has nutty aromas, perhaps showing a little more development…It's a wine that has to have aging potential, and they need to start with good grapes, so they harvested earlier, as their grapes were riper because they had lowered their yields. They took risks, and I think they got it right. The palate has intense and pungent flavors, a velvety mouthfeel and a vibrant core of acidity, with a fine thread and a chalky finish.” - 94 PTS, LUIS GUTIERREZ, WINE ADVOCATE (02/2024)
