Lobenberg: Im Gegensatz zur Gravonia Crianza besteht die Reserva auch aus Malvasia, das gibt einen zusätzlichen Kick an perfümiertem, blumigen, exotischem Aroma. Die Viura ist puristisch wie in der Crianza, gewachsen auf Kreide, Kalkstein und weißem Lehm. Die Weißweine stehen immer auf hellen, kargen Böden. Spontanvergärung in Jahunderte alten Holzfässern, dann Ausbau mindestens 6 Jahre im uralten Barrique. Holzfrei aber entwickelt. Wahnsinnig jung und frisch, geradaus, und zugleich diese blumige Reife. Tondonia ist einer der Welt-Maßstäbe für perfekt gereifte Weine.

Tim Atkin über: Vina Tondonia Blanco Reserva

-- Tim Atkin: Viña Tondonia is one of the world's great vineyards, producing superb reds as well as whites. After more than a decade in old American oak barrels and bottle, this is still remarkably fresh, bright and youthful. Made from Viura and 10% Malvasía it's a unique style that makes demands of the taster. Salty, dense, complex and slightly tannic, it has amazing extract, notes of lemon peel, fennel and tarragon and the concentration to age for at least another decade.

Parker über: Vina Tondonia Blanco Reserva

-- Parker: The 2014 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva has a bright golden color, almost fluorescent, a complex and nuanced nose reminiscent of the 2017 Viña Gravonia that I tasted next to it, toasty, smoky and spicy, with mushroom and earth, pollen and herbal tea notes, reminiscent of the aromas in their old caves. 2014 was not an easy vintage, and some wines were diluted because of the abundant rains before or during the harvest. This is the usual blend of Viura with 10% Malvasía Riojana from vines averaging 63 years of age on white soils with abundant rocks. It fermented in ancient oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured for six years, probably more, in well-seasoned, neutral American oak barrels in their caves, which have a big effect on the wines (the longer the time in them, the longer the effect). It has 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 6.6 grams of acidity. It fills your mouth with pungent flavors, despite being medium-bodied and having an ethereal quality about it, and it's very long and tasty and finishes almost salty, with an umami feeling, dry and chalky. Delicious, clean and still young, it should age effortlessly. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2022.
