“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.
This rare delicacy produced in phenomenal vintages receives 5 years of gravefull aging, with 2 years in oak barrels. Crimson color, fine complexity and beautiful oak nuances, flow into smooth vanilla notes, rich black cherry fruit with subties hints of leather, balsamic and spice. Excellent depth and pure finish.
Vetus means forbidden in Latin. The vines are located at an altitude of 810 to 930 m, in the northernmost area of Rueda (Segoría); here the harvest is about 3 weeks later than elsewhere in the DO.
Pintia 2019 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.
Clean and brilliant yellow color with green hints. An intense and perfumed albariño with aromas of orange blossom, melon and alluring minerality. Almost tropical. The palate is sleek and creamy, showing energy and verve.
Alión comes from carefully selected terroirs located in the very best areas of the Ribera del Duero DO region. The soils complement each other, and allied with the same winemaking process used in Vega Sicilia, they have produced wines with a firm structure.
A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano harvest by hand. The grapes are destemmed then placed in wooden vats. It is then matured in oak barrels that have already been used for 2 or 3 wines for 24 months.
Jose Gil El Bardallo 2022 is a red wine with a prominent fruity character. On the nose, it offers floral aromas and notes of red fruits such as strawberries and cherries. Upon tasting, it feels balanced, with good body and smooth tannins.
2017 was a very challenging year, as most of their vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja were affected by frost, unlike others in nearby Laguardia. Not only was it frost, but they also had hail later on in the season.
Lovivalo Tinto Joven 2007 features a bright and beautiful color complemented by a powerful bouquet, showcasing the exceptional quality of the grapes. Its tannic structure, complexity, and intense fruity character make it a standout wine.
