Vina Gravonia White Rioja Crianza Bodega Lopez Heredia – 2015

Please note that we only receive very limited quantities of this wine so we can only offer a maximum of 3bts per customer

Made from 100% old vine Viura and aged in 100% American oak barrels for 4 years before being bottled, this wonderful white Rioja Crianza is rich and complex but with well balanced acidity and finely integrated vanilla oak flavours. An excellent introduction to Lopez de Heredia’s highly sought after white Riojas. 

“2015 was considered a very good vintage, because it was warm, dry and healthy, and the 2015 Viña Gravonia Blanco has a little more alcohol at 13%—only half a degree makes a big difference, and the wine is not as lively as other cooler vintages. For María José López de Heredia, the wine is too alcoholic; the vintage had perfect ripeness and the grapes were super healthy, but the wine lacks the citrus freshness and the vibrancy Gravonia should have. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021. The wine matured for four years in well-seasoned American oak barrels.” 93/100pts Wine Advocate
