| spain

for 145 years, four generations of the lópez de heredia family have dedicated themselves to producing exceptional wines, true masterpieces. an aspiration that the winery's founder, rafael lópez de heredia y landeta, defined in the 19th century as the "supreme rioja". the care of the vines, the scrupulous selection of the grapes, the ageing in oak barrels in deep underground galleries, and then the ageing in bottles have given rise to these wines with a bouquet of great delicacy and nuance. for a long time, lópez de heredia wines have been given different names depending on the style of production, names that are still in use today and are known throughout the world, as the founder dreamed, with the name "viña tondonia" at the top. special mention should be made of our white wines. if there is a winery with experience in old white wines, it is lópez de heredia. our winery had no...

white wine

| france

for jean-marc grussaute, it is a question of revealing the jurançon terroir and signing the vintages. his meticulous work on these parcels planted at an altitude of up to 325 metres and protected from the violent westerly winds by a hilly environment, is devoted to his 4 dry, sweet and syrupy white wine cuvées. the gros manseng (25% of the vineyard) and the petit manseng (70%) are suitable for these late harvests, which take place from the end of october to mid-november. the petit courbu (5% of the vineyard) gives dry wines. reasonable yields of 30 to 60 hl/ha for the gros manseng and 15 to 25 hl/ha for the petit, give power and character to the wines of camin larredya. initially growing vegetables, jean grussaute, the father, gradually planted petit and gros manseng vines and brought his production of 4 hectares to the nearby cooperative winery until the 1970s. jean-marc, his son,...
