VINA ILUSION, RIOJA TEMPRANILLO, GRENACHE 2021

Viña Ilusión Rioja 2021 is a bright and easy-drinking red wine from the heart of Rioja, Spain, made by the small, organic producer Martín Alonso and Gloria Plaza. This blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache) is made with a gentle, low-intervention approach, bringing out the natural freshness and fruitiness of the grapes. 

Alcohol Content & Body

• Alcohol content: 13.5%

• Body: Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a smooth, refreshing texture.

Region 

This wine comes from Rioja Baja (also known as Rioja Oriental), from vineyards planted at high altitude – around 700 metres above sea level. The soils here are rich in clay and iron, helping to create wines with a real sense of place and lively character.

Aroma 

On the nose, it’s fresh and expressive, with aromas of cherries, red berries, and a gentle floral note. There’s a purity to the fruit that makes it feel clean and inviting.

Taste 

The palate is juicy and well-balanced, with flavours of plum, raspberry, and cherry, supported by light tannins and a zippy acidity that keeps things vibrant. There's no oak influence, so the fruit is front and centre.

Perfect Pairings 

This is a great match for tapas, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, or a simple pasta dish. It’s also very enjoyable slightly chilled on a warm day.

Viña Ilusión Rioja 2021 is a fresh, honest, and food-friendly Rioja, ideal for those who enjoy bright red wines with a natural, fruit-forward style.
