A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo. The wine ferments in the original wooden vats present at the winery since its foundation. After malolactic the wine is transferred to very old American oak and rests on the mythical galleries of the winery in Haro. It is bottled unfined and rests again in the glass until released, usually 10+ years after harvest.

The 2012 Viña Tondonia is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, cultivated on the meander of the Ebro River in Rioja Alta. This garnet wine reveals aromas of ash and plum marmalade, with a faintly herbal core and hints of oaky cedar. Dry and lean, the fairly chalky texture lingers long, concluding with a compact, flavorful and lasting finish. The 2012 is a beautiful old-school Rioja.
