Lopez de Heredia is the oldest winery in Rioja Alta and a champion for tradition. The best Tondonia Reservas are some of the most complex, satisfying and long-lived wines you are likely to encounter, and this 2007, with nearly 20 years of maturity is drinking superbly right now, and with 96 points from The Wine Advocate's Luis Gutierrez, you can be assured you are getting excellent quality in the bottle.
 
This is a classic, traditional Rioja, founded way back in 1877, and inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux, appealing to those who enjoy great French and Spanish wines alike.
