A classic expression of traditional Rioja, the Viña Tondonia Reserva 2012 reveals lifted aromas of dried cherry, red plum and wild strawberry layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, leather and sweet baking spice from extended ageing in American oak. The palate is elegant and finely textured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and savoury undertones that lead to a long, graceful finish. Complex yet beautifully balanced, this wine pairs wonderfully with roast lamb, Iberico pork, grilled mushrooms, duck confit or aged Manchego cheese, making it an excellent companion to both hearty Spanish dishes and refined Mediterranean cuisine.
