Tondonia Blanco 2001: less oxidised. More sweet fruit, apricot, old mature oak, more balanced and forward character. More smooth, soft than the Gravonia, more harmonious. Lovely. 94. Limestone soils

Visit at the bodega. Of the Tondonia wines there are no young vintages on the market. A vintage is only released when considered 'ready' AND the previous vintage has to be all sold out. For white this means that 2001 is the current vintage. This wine was in oak barrels for six years and had a bottle aging after that. No clear oak aroma's here, but complex (warm) spicy notes and a slight oxidative touch. 90% viura.

Claasic Lopez. Long elevage coming through with its nutty, golden-fruited way.
