The fusion of a traditional native varietal and the rich slate soil of a century-old single vineyard. Harvested by hand and aged for 12 months in French and Caucasian 300-liter oak barrels.
Extraordinary dark cherry red color, intense violet, Mediterranean thyme and cassis aromas joined by notes of cocoa and spice. Full and intense on the palate, with ripe, velvety and elegant tannins. Flavorful and full bodied, with a characteristic, terror-imparted hint of graphite minerality.
100% Tempranillo aged 4 months in barrel and 4 months in bottle. The label honors Herminia Casas Madorrán, the wife of an early proprietor and the namesake of the winery.
Deep garnet color. Dense aromas of dried blueberries and cherries with a supple, dry yet fruity medium body and a tangy, blackberry cider and spiced nut accented finish. Lightly oxidized character will work well at the table.
Javier Revert has created a beautifully focussed expression of Bobal in this field blend which includes 30% white grapes. Smokey yet fresh with black cherry, Mediterranean herbs, and a hint of black olive.

Very pretty aromas of flowers and flower petal with hints of perfume follow through to a medium body, round yet fine tannins and a flavorful finish.
“Viña Ijalba”
Those words had been following us around Rioja like a strange echo. Their name surfaced in nearly every cellar we went to—yet the estate remained mysterious. It didn’t take long before we gave in to temptation and scheduled a visit.
The 2012 Unico Tinto is concentrated, juicy, silky, and well-defined. Notable characteristics included the healthiness, the strong coloring, and very ripe tannins suitable for ageing. An excellent vintage.
De cuerpo medio, con aristas pulidas y recuerdos de fruta roja y regaliz dulce en retronasal.
F de Fuentespina es un vino elaborado con uva procedente de viñedos muy viejos de la Ribera del Duero.
The bedrock is schistous: the same rock that underlies the Port vineyards of the Douro further downstream.
This is very polished and pretty with dark fruit and hints of cedar and vanilla. It’s medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a vivid finish. 100% tempranillo. Enjoyable now, but can improve in the bottle.
Pintia 2018 is probably the most vertical Pintia, the most fruitful, but at the same time with a lot of plot. It came with a very silky texture that makes it easy to enjoy, but with an incredible journey.
