For 148 years, four generations of the López de Heredia family have devoted themselves to producing exceptional wines. The wines are viniferous masterpieces which have fulfilled the vision of the founder, Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta, wines that came to be defined in the late nineteenth century as the "Supreme Rioja". Vineyard care, a scrupulous selection of grapes, ageing in oak barrels in the heart of deep underground caves, and the later ageing in bottles, all contribute to making these illustrious wines with their exceptional aromas and complex array of flavours. This is from the winery:

"Special mention ought to be made of our white wines. If there is one bodega experienced in producing old white wines, it has to be López de Heredia. To talk in our bodega of white wines being exclusively young and uncomplicated would be asking for trouble. We have never been averse to ageing white wines in oak for as long as reds, and the result is much more surprising than might be expected. When this type of wine has spent a long time in contact with oak, the oaky tastes and aromas are overly noticeable and even unbalanced. Nevertheless, when left for a few more years in bottles, the rough edges of oak become sufficiently polished and balanced to create a seductive bouquet of spice, bitter almonds, vanilla and walnut, trademarks of the majestic and opulent Viña Tondonia whites."
