Viña Tondonia Rosé Gran Reserva 2010

From the Wine Maker:

Onion skin colour, with fresh and persistent aromas. Smooth and fresh on the palate with body and complexity due to the ageing conditions.

This versatile wine will complement any dish due to its freshness. It goes very well with spice and hoot food. Perfect with ham and charcuterie. It combines very well with Indian, Mexican and Chinese style food.

From Robert Parker:

"The 2010 Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva was hitting on all cylinders. It was produced with 60% Garnacho (they use the masculine of the name here), 30% Tempranillo and 10% white Viura from vines averaging 91 years of age. Like all the wines, it fermented with indigenous yeasts (they have never used selected yeasts) in the 142 oak vats they have used since the beginning and then matured in old American oak barrels for four years. There is tons of complexity and nuance here; it's super elegant and layered, and as the wine sat in the glass, it developed more and more complex aromas, a subtle combination of balsam, red acid berries, a hint of medicine, fennel and wet chalk, a diesel-like touch, old wood and mushroom (beetroot?), licorice and yellow flowers, sweet spices... There's a lot more of everything. It's clean and crystalline, fresh and long, with terrific balance and depth. This has to be the finest rosado of recent times... 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2016."
