Lopez de Heredia is one of the most beloved wineries in the world. The winery was founded in 1877 by Don Rafael Lopez de Heredia. He started planting the Tondonia vineyard on the left bank of the Ebro River in 1913 and this vineyard has since become one the most famous vineyards in Rioja. Since that time eight generations have worked to preserve the traditions of the estate and today Maria–Jose Lopez de Heredia is in charge of winemaking and oversees production. The wines are not only fermented in oak, but are aged for a significant period of time in oak casks. Even the Crianza wines, which have a minimum aging requirement of two years, spend over four years in the Lopez de Heredia cellars.

The oak ageing is particularly note worthy on the white wines giving them some of the most complex and exhilarating taste profile of any white wines in the world.

We will show Gran Reserva 1964, 1973, 1981, 1991, 1994, Bosconia Gran Reserva 1991, Reserva 2001, 2002, Tondonia Gran Reserva blanco 1987, 1991 Tondonia Reserva blanco 1998 & 1993
