Viña Ijalba Tempranillo 2024 from Rioja is a vibrant, organically grown young red, brimming with juicy cherry, plum and dark berry fruit, touches of violets and a subtle earthy, spicy edge that keeps it feeling distinctly Rioja rather than generic. This Viña Ijalba Tempranillo 2024 is medium‑bodied, fresh and moreish, with soft tannins, lively acidity and a clean, dry finish that makes it an easy mid‑week pour as much as a smart value dinner wine.

For the table, it’s a natural with pizza, tapas, burgers, charcuterie and grilled chorizo, and it handles roast chicken, pork or lamb chops just as comfortably. Semi‑hard cheeses and grilled veg also work a treat, especially if you’re pouring it just slightly chilled on a warm evening.

Viña Ijalba Tempranillo 2024 is certified organic, vegan and DOCa Rioja, made from 100% Tempranillo and typically raised in tank or older oak to keep the fruit front and centre, delivering excellent everyday value for those who want genuine Rioja character without the Crianza/Reserva price tag.
