“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.
We work with mountain vineyards, dry-farmed bush vines, sustanably cultivated. Mall unique elaborations refined in old caves.San Frontonio, a beheaded martyr whose head was found upriver, symbolizes our spirit of going against the tide. Made from 100% Grenache. Pale ruby red with bluish hints. Redcurrant, red rose and laurel. A long and lasting wine.
A blend of Garnacha Tintorera, Palomino, Trousseau, Garnacha, and Mencia, from vineyards that range from 800-1000 meters in altitude. Grapes are de-stemmed and fermentation and aging is in a combination of tanks, amphorae, and cement eggs. A lovely, light bodied red, with subtle tannic structure, and bright red floral aromatics.
Made from Listán Negro sourced from the vineyards of Pedro Umpiérrez and Ascensión Robayna. Vines in excess of 100 years old. Planted in deep, black volcanic sands (up to 3m deep) over clay subsoils. Hand harvested, 90% whole cluster, natural yeast fermentation in amphorae and small fermentation bins. 6 months in neutral 500L French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
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.
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.
