R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2004
Lopez whites are some of my favorites in the entire world. Like super caramel/nuts/bakery but nothing like an oxy sherry, tons of acid brightness too (Also just standard reserva, not gran! Delectable has some weird glitch that’s kicking me to other wines when I pick, was the red earlier)
I know they hold back, but 2004 is far from current vintage, no? I’m so curious! Waldemar also sang praise. Aren’t the rosados also unexpectedly complex & heady?
Looks like 2009 is the current release. We picked this up from downtown wines in Knoxville! But they make plenty of it—I’m sure the Spanish table could hook it up! (The less-expensive gravonia vineyard also makes a really great white)

@Chris Cohen awkwardness is one way to put it.
