Bodega Viña Ijalba Graciano Tinto Rioja Bio 2022

Bodega Viña Ijalba Graciano Tinto Rioja Bio 2022 is a distinctive organic Rioja built around Graciano, one of the region’s most characterful and expressive native grapes. Known for its freshness, aromatic intensity, and naturally vibrant structure, it offers a more uncommon and nuanced take on Rioja red wine.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with youthful brightness in the glass. On the nose, Graciano typically shows an attractive mix of dark berries, red cherry, violets, herbs, and a subtle spicy edge. The palate is usually lively and precise, with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a savoury, energetic finish that gives the wine real definition. Thanks to its natural structure and acidity, Graciano can age well, developing more complex notes of dried fruit, earth, leather, and spice over time. Even in its youth, it tends to feel polished yet expressive, making it appealing both for immediate enjoyment and short- to medium-term cellaring.

Production
Produced by Bodega Viña Ijalba in Rioja, this wine reflects the estate’s focus on organic viticulture and native grape varieties. Rioja’s varied soils and continental influence help preserve freshness and aromatic lift, while careful vineyard work supports the purity of the fruit. Vinification is likely geared toward protecting the grape’s natural character, with gentle extraction and controlled fermentation to highlight Graciano’s perfume, structure, and vitality.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast poultry, mushroom dishes, cured meats, and Mediterranean-style tapas. Its freshness also makes it a good match for dishes with herbs, tomato, or light spice. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if opened young to allow its aromatics to unfold.
