Wine Notes
A good quality, aged Rioja is a thing of wonder and can also offer excellent value. Lopez de Heredia are hailed as one of the top producers in Rioja making wines that are classic and well-balanced. The Bosconia Rioja Reserva is one of their single vineyard wines made in a traditional style.
Producer Notes
The Lรณpez de Heredia wines have become true gems, increasingly cherished by the critiics and wine lovers. Until the early naughties these wines were hard to get hold of outside of Spain but fortunately that has changed. However, the wines are only released when ready and there can be large breaks between vintages such as the mythical Tondonia Gran Reserva Blanco which kept its fans waiting between 2000 and 2008. The wines are a benchmark for tradition, classic Riojan style. An in-house cooperage allows this winery to personalise their oak character, thending towards using old barrels from mostly American oak where the wines slowly age according to the DO restrictions.
