Fresh and persistent on the nose, the Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 2012 is full and complex on the palate, with light notes of plum, walnut and caramel, all with surprising freshness and beautiful balance. Serve with grilled prawns...

Note and review by M. THIBAULT E. Published on 10/12/2022

Between I love it and I hate it. A surprising wine, out of the ordinary but not for everyone. It's a very complex rosé, but rather oxidative. For the curious, it's a real taste experience. For the rest of you, skip it.
