Blood orange, bitter herbs and pink grapefruit, with dried orange blossom, apricot peel, anise, clove and curry, underpinned by notes of wet stone and some metallic and earthy remembrances. |
| Palate | Elegant, layered and amazingly pure, this rosé wine of López de Heredia-Viña Tondonia has all the qualities associated with maturity, but none of its shortcomings. Vibrant and focused, with a saline-mineral texture, amazing acidity and a slowly unfurling complexity, ending with a beautiful tertiary note in which all nuances come together in the most harmonious and endearing way. |
