Rio Madre

2010 Rioja 100% Graciano

Bodegas Y Vinedos Ilurce Rio Madre is a captivating expression of Graciano, hailing from the renowned Rioja region. This full-bodied red wine showcases an enticing deep ruby hue, promising a bold experience. With a high level of acidity, it offers a refreshing lift, perfectly balancing the pronounced fruit intensity that reveals luscious notes of dark cherry and blackberry. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity and longevity. A beautifully crafted wine, it is dry, making it an excellent companion for rich, grilled meats or flavorful tapas, allowing each sip to unfold the essence of its terroir.
