Bodegas López De Heredia Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva 2005 - Rioja, Spain

Comparable to classic vintages like the 1976 and 1957, the Lopez de Heredia Viña Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva 2005 showed evolution early on. A round mouthfeel with a chalkiness and a salty twist is informed by the limestone terroir, while notes of honey, wax and caramel are imparted by 14 years of maturation in seasoned American oak barrels and oak vats.
