1964 López de Heredia "Viña Tondonia" Rioja Gran Reserva, Rioja, Spain
ABOUT THIS WINE
The 1964 vintage is universally considered one of the finest in Rioja’s history—marked by ideal growing conditions and exceptional natural balance. This Gran Reserva is built from a traditional blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, grown in the estate’s prized Viña Tondonia vineyard along the Ebro River in Rioja Alta.
Fermented in large old oak vats with native yeasts and aged for nearly 10 years in old American oak barrels, the wine was bottled unfiltered and cellared for many more years before release. Now fully mature yet still vibrant, this bottle is a benchmark of longevity and finesse—offering a rare glimpse into Rioja’s golden age. Ideal with aged cheeses, game birds, or simply on its own as a contemplative experience.
