Ijalba Maturana Tinto Rioja 2016

Talk to anyone in Rioja about native grape varieties and the name Juan Carlos Sancha invariably comes up, as his doctoral thesis was entitled ‘The revival of native minority grapes in DOCa Rioja’. He is doing a smashing job of making wines which may be unfamiliar, but delicious none the less. Aromas of an unfinished concrete basement, dried flowers, pencil shavings, blackberries, plums, and figs. Dry and thought-provoking.
