Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura
La Rioja Alta, La Rioja, Spain
What a treat—butterscotch, nuts, lemon, slightly oxidative, creamy and full texturally. Could have used maybe slightly more freshness and cut but nitpicking.

Such an enjoyable and easy drinking wine that would be very easy to pair. Vanilla is probably the most dominant flavour but there is a deep complexity here. Very strong recommendation

Beautiful golden hue. Creamy, Wildflowers, grapefruit. Probably the best Viura on the market. Cheers

A dark purple robe with mild ruby touches. The nose is deep and approachable. Cigar smoke and oak for days. There’s a plethora of dark fruits here with red cherries, blueberries, and the faintest hint of vanilla. Such a treat for the senses.
Steady but exciting. Reliable but thrilling. Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. Quite traditional but it’s just so damn good year in and year out. Nice complexity and sturdy in its youth but perfect for aging. Very reminiscent of a nice Bordeaux. So smooth and refined but welcoming. The red fruit on the palate is pure and accompanied by tobacco, earth, and nutmeg. All in all, I could drink this all day everyday.

High tannins and robust body. Exactly what I expected!
