R. Lopez De Heredia Rioja Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva 1991

Recorded in the Rioja as a Very good year. In Viña Tondonia it was one of the best in History and this is the reason why we decided to make a Gran Reserva vintage that will improve through the years to come. There was a hailstone in September the 11th that reduced the yields but not the quality. The rain fall of the year was small and very irregular all over the Rioja. We started harvesting in October the 14th . The alcohol average was 13'5 for White grapes and 12'5 for reds. These are perfect parameters for making wine to last.

The color is a vibrant red leading slightly towards amber. On the nose with a light fresh texture with notes of vanilla and dried berry aromas.
To the palate it has a rich, very dry, smooth, developed taste with firm tannins and balance.
