Viña Bosconia Reserva 2014
24.06₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I loved the nose of the 2014 Viña Bosconia Reserva, a red that sells at an incredible price for the quality, the problem is (like all their wines) finding it... They had to accelerate the harvest to avoid botrytis caused by the abundant rain during the harvest. This is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho and the remaining 5% Graciano and Mazuelo, fermented in old oak vats with their yeasts and matured in neutral American oak barrels for no less than five years. It's elegant and nuanced, developed but young for its age, with a seamless palate and very fine tannins, with energy and light. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 6.7 grams of acidity, notable parameters of freshness. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.

Description
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a red wine produced by Bodega López de Heredia Viña Tondonia in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It is a blend of the four grape varieties Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo.
The grapes come from a low-yielding vineyard on the Viña Tondonia estate in La Rioja. This estate covers 100 hectares and is considered one of the most spectacular estates in Haro, made up of alluvial deposits, limestone and poplar trees.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Viña Tondonia Reserva is aged for 6 years in oak barrels from the winery's own cooperage, and undergoes 2 rackings per year.
Subsequently, the wine is clarified with fresh egg from the estate, and bottled unfiltered. After that, the wine spends at least 6 months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
Taste
Viña Tondonia Reserva is very fine and fresh. In the mouth it is dry, smooth and round, with good acidity. It is well structured and has a persistent finish.
A great wine representative of the classic Rioja style.
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a great example of an elegant classic Rioja wine. It is a high quality wine, easy to drink, and has its own identity.
In the gastronomic area it is the perfect accompaniment for meals such as potatoes with chorizo, curry dishes, roast lamb, lamb with fine herbs, ham, truffled rice dishes, cold meats, chocolate...
