"The current white 2000 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva follows the usual blend of 90% Viura and 10% Malvasía Riojana and has the same alcohol and acidity as the red. Sourced from their Viña Tondonia vineyard in a meander of the Ebro river in Haro, it fermented naturally in oak vats and matured in barrels for six years. There are plenty of balsamic aromas plus notes of old furniture, waxed noble woods, pollen and honey that show slightly more evolved than the 2001. The wine fills your palate, has great intensity, focused flavors, very good acidity and persistence. It's a mellow and accessible white Tondonia."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
