Don Rafael Lpez de Heredia acquired the Tondonia vineyard from a group of clergy in 1913. Situated on the right bank of the river Ebro, in Rioja Alta, it stretches over 247 acres; the soil is alluvial clay with a high proportion of limestone. There are 4 varieties of red grapes planted in this vineyardTempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnachoas well as a few acres of white grapes (Viura and Malvasia) planted in the whitest soils, from which R. Lpez de Heredia makes their Tondonia Blanco.

Tondonia represents the bulk of their production.
