Bodegas López de Heredia

Bodegas López de Heredia Viña Tondonia is one of the oldest and most esteemed wineries in the Rioja region of Spain. Founded in 1877 by Don Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta, he recognized the potential of the Haro area in Rioja Alta for producing exceptional wines.

López de Heredia is renowned for its traditional winemaking methods, including the use of large American oak barrels and extended aging periods in underground cellars, often exceeding the legal requirements for Reserva and Gran Reserva categories.

This practice results in wines of remarkable complexity and longevity. The winery remains family-owned, with the current generation represented by sisters María José and Mercedes López de Heredia, who continue the tradition of preserving the authenticity and quality of their wines.
