Tondonia has become a massive hit with Club Members over a string of super vintages, and the 2012 is another beautifully balanced Rioja. Tim Atkin MW has already awarded an impressive 95 points, and for just £27 a bottle, this Spanish "First Growth" offers unbeatable bang for your buck!
A warm, dry growing season, the 2012 Riojas possess incredible power and concentration, though Tondonia's savoury, high-toned style is still very much on display. The Reserva is up there with some of the best value, age-worthy reds around, and with the estate having done much of the maturation for you, expect this to be drinking beautifully from release.
What the critics say:
"Viña Tondonia can seem austere in its (comparative) youth, especially when compared with sweeter Bosconia, but this is a wine that will reward patience. Picked earlier to assuage the effects of a warmer site, this blend of Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo is structured and focused, with redcurrant, forest floor and green herb notes. Give it time. 2025-32."
