Viña Tondonia Reserva DOC

The Vina Tondonia Reserva from the legendary López de Heredia family winery is a flagship of classic Rioja tradition. Located near Haro, the estate is one of the oldest and most respected producers in the region - with an uncompromising focus on craftsmanship, time and authenticity.

In the glass, the Vina Tondonia Reserva is a deep red, slightly amber in color. The nose reveals a deep, multi-layered aroma of dried red fruits, tobacco, vanilla, almonds and delicate balsamic notes. On the palate, this dry red wine is finely structured, supple and rich in nuances - with well-integrated acidity, firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. A Rioja with soul and substance.

The Cuvee traditionally consists mainly of Tempranillo, supplemented by Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. The grapes come from the famous Vina Tondonia vineyard, which stretches along the Ebro river. The ageing process is uncompromisingly traditional: at least six years in old oak barrels, regularly racked by hand, followed by several years of bottle ageing in the cellar - only then is the wine released.

A great accompaniment to lamb, game, mature hard cheese, braised dishes or fine Mediterranean cuisine. Ideal for special occasions and large glasses.

Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico Rioja DOC 2019
Der Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico ist sozusagen der Zweitwein, der aus der faszinierenden Zusammenarbeit von Vega Sicilia und Benjamin de Rothschild in der Rioja hervorgeht. Aber was heißt hier schon Zweitwein. Wer diesen Tempranillo öffnet, merkt schnell, dass dies einmal mehr eine erstklassige Kreation ist. 93+ Punkte in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate für den Vega Sicilia Macán Clásico 2019 sprechen für sich.Herrlich anregende Düfte von Brombeeren und Pflaumen prägen das Bouquet, wunderbar harmonierend mit Noten von Schokolade und einer feinen Würze. „Reichhaltige, aber raffinierte und vielschichtige Nase, die dunkle Pflaumen, getrocknete Erdbeeren, Oliven, Kakaobohnen und einige herzhafte mediterrane Gewürze entfaltet“, schreibt US-Weinkritiker James Suckling, der für den Macán Clásico 2019 stolze 93 Punkte vergibt.Am Gaumen ist der reinsortige Tempranillo (von mehr als drei Jahrzehnten alten Rebstöcken) trocken und kraftvoll, herrlich saftig und fruchtbetont. Der Wein „hat einen moderaten Alkoholgehalt von 14 %, eine milde Säure und eine gute Frische und Ausgewogenheit“, urteilt Luis Gutiérrez im Wine Advocate. „2019 war ein trockenes und warmes Jahr, in dem sie eine sanfte Weinbereitung durchführten, um harte Tannine zu vermeiden. Die Nase ist reif ohne Übermaß, und die Eiche ist elegant integriert.Der Macán Clásico 2019 wurde für etwa 12 Monate größtenteils in neuen und gebrauchten französischen Eichenfässern ausgebaut. Aber auch 5 Prozent amerikanische Eiche kamen zum Einsatz, und etwa ein Fünftel des Weins reifte im Edelstahltank. Das Weingut selbst empfiehlt, den Tempranillo bei einer Trinktemperatur von 18 Grad zu genießen. Suckling rät: „Drink after 2024.” Dieser Rotwein aus der Rioja ist schon jetzt ein Hochgenuss, kann aber auch noch 10 bis 15 Jahre gelagert werden.

San Vicente Rioja DOCa 2021
San Vicente Rioja DOCa - Elegant Tempranillo red wine with depth and structureSince 1991, oenologist Marcos Eguren, scion of a long-established winegrowing family in Rioja, has been producing this grape juice, which is limited to around 60,000 bottles a year. His San Vincente is the modern version of a premium Rioja that combines the best of all Spanish wine worlds. How is this to be understood? The San Vincente preserves the traditions and classic virtues of a Rioja by being aged for 20 months in wooden barrels (90% French and 10% American oak) and then bottled unfiltered. The wine is therefore guaranteed to keep for a long time. However, Marcos Eguren goes far beyond this in his approach to creating a modern and qualitatively outstanding wine; he focuses on a more fruit-driven style than is usual in Rioja.Not just any vines are used, but the noble variety of Tempranillo, namely Tempranillo Peludo, from the company's own 18-hectare Finca la Canoca vineyard, which is located on the best clay and limestone terroir. The grapes are hand-selected twice to ensure that only the best grapes make it into the wine.It is also striking that the wine is vinified with such precision and high quality that vintage fluctuations are hardly noticeable. Every year, the San Vincente is a top-class Rioja with an exceptionally good price-performance ratio.A deep, dark red color greets the eye of the wine connoisseur. Dark and some red berries, herbs, chocolate and roasted aromas on the nose. Full-bodied, fleshy on the palate, elegance and power at eye level, balanced by good acidity. The use of the barrel is noticeable, but it is never intrusive or goes too far. Lots of harmony, depth, well-integrated tannins and a very long finish.Please decant at least one hour before drinking.Guia Proensa 100/100 points; Wine Advocate 94/100 points; Tim Atkin 96/100 points.

G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe DOCG
The Vajra Barolo Albe DOCG is a stylish homage to the traditional Barolo style and the great masters ("maestri") of this world-famous wine region. The cuvée comes from high-altitude vineyards in the heart of Piedmont - sites located at 380 to 480 meters above sea level and with their different exposures (south-east to south-west) bring impressive complexity to the wine. The name "Albe" (plural of alba, Italian for "dawn") refers to the three sunrises that can be experienced there - a symbol of light, diversity and depth.The G.D. Vajra winery is one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the Barolo region. Aldo Vajra switched to sustainable and organic farming back in 1971 - long before it became a trend. The vineyards are kept healthy in a natural way through greening and natural biodiversity. Intensive manual work, continuous research and the deliberate avoidance of standardized cellar techniques make Barolo Albe an authentic and lively wine.The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and selected three times - directly on the vine, as whole bunches and again as individual berries. Vinification is traditional, with long maceration periods of 30 to 61 days in specially designed vertical fermentation tanks. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and 24 months of ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels give the wine structure, balance and longevity. Bottling only takes place after an extended ageing period to ensure maximum expressiveness.In the glass, the Vajra Barolo Albe is a clear garnet red with a bright core. The nose is dominated by fresh floral notes - rose petals, violets - accompanied by typical Nebbiolo aromas and fine balsamic nuances. On the palate, the wine is lively, precise and energetic, with elegant tannins and aromas of bright red fruits, ripe cherries and delicate spice. A Barolo that is already accessible when young, but also has great ageing potential.Barolo Albe is an excellent accompaniment to braised beef, game dishes, truffle pasta or strong mushroom risottos. It also unfolds its full elegance with mature hard cheese or roast lamb.Enjoy it at a drinking temperature of around 18 °C to allow its aromatic depth and fine structure to develop to the full.

On the palate, the red wine is fresh and lively, with juicy fruit, soft tannins and a finely balanced body.The grapes come from our own vineyards, which are between 25 and 60 years old. They lie on calcareous soils at a higher altitude, which gives the grapes a longer ripening period and a particularly aromatic character. The wine is matured exclusively in stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the freshness and varietal typicity of the Dolcetto.With its lively character and moderate alcohol content, this Dolcetto d'Alba is a versatile accompaniment to Mediterranean cuisine. It is an excellent accompaniment to pasta with tomato sauces, antipasti, grilled vegetables or mild cheese.Recommended drinking temperature: 14-16 °C
