Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva – 2004
La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva – 2015 (will be picking up a 2016 when it releases this year)
2x Viña Tondonia Reserva – 2012, a gift from our tour of their wonderful winery in Haro.
I was over the moon to find a bottle of the 2004 Gran Reserva in town, as the only option from R Lopez de Heredia is to purchase a case of the Reserva for the opportunity to buy the Gran Reserva, which would have exceeded my customs limit back to Canada.

I visited 4 wineries in Haro.
R Lopez de Heredia
La Rioja Alta
CVNE
Muga
While this order is how I would rate my experience in tasting the wines and the tours of their facilities, R Lopez de Heredia was a clear standout in both the walkthrough of their facilities as well as the traditional aspects of their winemaking.
I did not get the chance to taste the Gran Reserva currently on offer through them, but will be saving it for an upcoming anniversary in a few years.
The prices at Rioja Alta gift shop are like 40% lower than prices in USA. Love Spain, Spanish wine, and rioja! Hope you enjoyed the trip!
Great haul. Beautiful area. Salud.
Oh, is LdH doing tours again?
Had two of these on July 4th. Amazing wine, got it from here for $50 USD.
