“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.
Made from a selection of 100% Tinto Fino vines (local name for the Tempranillo grape) from some of the oldest vines, age ranging from 25 – 75 years. Maceration during 28 days with the skins.
Picturesque and enchanting landscapes of the Upper Ebro give us these grapes, from which the winemaker from the Spanish winery El Coto de Rioja conjures up this red wine with refinement and experience.
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.
Peñas Aladas Gran Reserva Dominio del Águila 2010 is a masterpiece crafted from ancient vineyards over 100 years old, nestled among pine forests in Spain. The blend is predominantly Tempranillo (85%), complemented by a mix of Cariñena, Bruñal, Bobal, Albillo, Garnacha, and other native varieties.
Mostly peppery on the nose with cherry and blackberry hints. The palate is gentle thanks to depth and freshness provided by humid winds coming from the near ocean.
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.
Classic Rioja aromas of earthy berry, cassis and raisin along with cocoa and dry spice notes announce a ripe wine with complexity. A dense palate with good acidity sets the stage for baked berry, cassis and raisin flavors.
Floral nose with light red fruits on the palate, balanced by enough acicdity to create a bright fresh mouthfeel. From Catalan, Marc Isart is head winemaker at the much acclaimed Bernabeleva, where he spearheaded the property’s transformation to biodynamics.
Inky bright-rimmed ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays sexy black and blue fruit liqueur scents complicated by suggestions of potpourri vanilla and incense.
