Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo

Viña Tondonia Reserva is old-school Rioja at its finest — aged to perfection, full of savoury depth, and completely unmistakable. Expect dried cherry, tobacco, leather, and a little vanilla spice, all wrapped in fine, mellow tannins and lifted by bright acidity. It’s complex, elegant, and built to linger.

Perfect with roast lamb, hard cheeses, or mushroomy dishes that deserve a bit of ceremony. This isn’t your everyday red — it’s a slow-sipping, quietly majestic bottle that tells a story with every glass. Rioja royalty, plain and simple.
