Dionisio Ruiz Ijalba

2011 Rioja Maturana Tinta

The Vina Ijalba Dionisio Ruiz Ijalba, a captivating red from the acclaimed Rioja region, showcases the remarkable Maturana Tinta varietal. This 2011 vintage exudes a beautifully rich and full-bodied character, providing a luscious experience for the palate. Its acidity is vibrant and mouthwatering, elevating the wine's overall freshness and enhancing its food-friendly nature. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, revealing layers of dark berries, cherries, and hints of spice that dance harmoniously on the tongue. The tannins are structured yet gentle, offering a firm backbone without overpowering the wine's vibrant expression. As a dry red, it perfectly balances its fruitiness with complexity, making it an exquisite choice for any occasion.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
