Lopez Vina Todonia Reserva Red 2012 is a classic Rioja wine produced by Bodegas R. López de Heredia, one of the oldest and most traditional wineries in the region. The wine is crafted from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo grapes sourced from the estate's own vineyards, primarily from the Viña Tondonia vineyard. It undergoes an extensive aging process, spending about six years in American oak barrels followed by several years in the bottle before release. The winemaker's tasting notes highlight aromas of dried red fruits, leather, and spices, with a complex palate that offers a balance of acidity and tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. The wine has an ABV of approximately 13% and is known for its ability to age gracefully.
