Vina Ijalba Rioja Graciano
£18.99
Rioja is known for producing some of the best Spanish wine, and this 2012 Viña Ijalba is a classic example of Spanish quality and care. The wine is made from Graciano grapes, which account for just 0.04% of the total grapes planted in the region. Graciano grapes are famous for the deep, aromatic wines they produce, with strong hints of spices and long length. On the first sip, you’ll detect hints of quinces and herby fruits, making this an attractive vintage. As you delve deeper, you’ll notice floral aromas, a full body, and notes of sage that provide an elegant, full-bodied feel. To top it off, it’s organic!

Graciano is the grape which i’d never heard of. One of our guests said this was too ‘savoury’, but I really loved the wild, herbal style of this wine.

Phwoar! Punchy flavour that settles once it has had some air. Strong savoury flavours. Ripe rhubarb and warming anise.
