Vina Ijalba Rioja Crianza
£14.90
Taste
Succulent plum, Sweet spice
Aroma
Cassis plum, Savoury
Description
90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano combine in this Riojan masterpiece. Aged for 12 months in a mix of 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, this wine has the prefect balance of ripe red berry and cassis fruits and oak tannins. Designed to love bottle ageing, it has a minimum of 18 months before release but has a good few years until it reaches its peak. Try with a range of meatier pasta dishes and make sure that you always have another bottle handy, as one is rarely enough.
- Decanter magazine, March 2020 issue, Sarah Jane Evans MW and Simon Field MW – ‘Plums and cassis contrast nicely with savoury smoky bacon notes; dense and succulent with a long velvety finish’ (2016 vintage)
- Gold Medal, International Organic Wine Awards 2019 (2016 vintage)
