López de Heredia is one of the most traditional of all Rioja producers – little has changed here since the estate was founded in 1913. It possesses a reputation for producing complex wines that invariably have the capacity age over the long-term. The estate is extensive with 170 hectares of vineyard and 124 currently in production. Then again, the range of wines is also extensive – they produce 9 different wines in most years across all levels, including some great white and rosé Gran Reserva. The Tondonia vineyard must be the most famous that they own, comprising 100 hectares in Haro, next to the River Ebro, where the area of Rioja Alta borders Rioja Alavesa. The vineyard lies in a shell-like depression on a soil of alluvial clay with a high proportion of limestone.
We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to taste an extensive range of Viña Tondonia wines by López de Heredia. The evening will begin at 7pm with a glass of Recaredo Serra del Vell 2016 before moving onto the tasting and dinner, led by Simon Larkin MW and Laura Hollingsworth DipWSET. To accompany the tasting, we have teamed up with the chefs at The Wolseley to create a menu specifically to pair with the wines.
