the 2011 La Cartuja is a 4,000 case blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Carinena (3,000 cases are being exported to the USA). It was aged for eight months in 50% new and 50% used French oak. The wine possesses phenomenal minerality along with notes of crushed rocks/wet steel, graphite, blueberries and raspberries, medium to full-bodied flavors, and sensational purity, texture and length. It should drink nicely for a decade or more."

Originally crafted by Don Rafael to emulate the spirit of great old Bordeaux wines, Tondonia is always featured in a Bordeaux bottle. To many, it also seems to suggest Bordeaux in the bottle – always a bit smoother, rounder, and more in the black fruit, cacao, tobacco and leather vein, this wine tends to appeal to fans of Bordeaux, although with the unmistakable imprint of its Rioja pedigree. Comprised of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacha (15%), Graciano and Mazuelo (10%), the reserva always spends a remarkable 5 ½ years in oak and 4 years in the bottle before it’s released.
