Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

2015 was considered a very good vintage, because it was warm, dry and healthy, and the 2015 Viña Gravonia Blanco has a little more alcohol at 13%—only half a degree makes a big difference, and the wine is not as lively as other cooler vintages. For María José López de Heredia, the wine is too alcoholic; the vintage had perfect ripeness and the grapes were super healthy, but the wine lacks the citrus freshness and the vibrancy Gravonia should have. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. The wine matured for four years in well-seasoned American oak barrels.

Features

Description

Viña Gravonia is a white wine made from 100% Viura grapes. This wine was created by the Bodega López de Heredia Viña Tondonia in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja.
The grapes with which this wine is produced come from the Viña Gravonia vineyard, which has 24 hectares, and was planted 45 years ago.
The vineyard is located on diverse soils ranging from alluvial to clay-limestone, with the presence of gravel and boulders and a microclimate with an Atlantic influence.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand, bunch by bunch, and transported to the winery in comportas, poplar wood containers shaped like cone-shaped trunks. Once in the winery, the grapes are crushed by a steamroller to release the must.
The must ferments in large 60-hectolitre oak vats.
The ageing process lasts 4 years in oak barrels, with 2 rackings per year. The wine is then clarified with fresh egg whites and bottled unfiltered.

Taste

In the mouth it is fruity, complex, evolved, very fine, fresh and with a tremendously long finish.

A wonderful and unique white wine from La Rioja

Viña Gravonia owes its name to some vineyards that the López de Heredia winery owns some 200 metres away, acquired by the great-grandfather of the current managers of this Rioja winery. This magnificent white wine presents a style that shows the fresh and mineral character of this Rioja vineyard.
In the gastronomic field it is the perfect accompaniment to dishes such as: cooked, fried or grilled fish, seasoned fish, grilled seafood, white meats with consistent sauces and pasta.
