Based in Rioja Alavesa, Clos Ibai cultivates old Tempranillo vines on calcareous clay soils at altitude. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and aged in neutral oak, the wine reflects site clarity rather than oak influence. The balanced 2021 vintage delivered freshness and structure. Compared to Garnacha Tinto, Tempranillo is firmer and more structured, showing red and dark cherry, subtle spice and fine-grained tannins with mineral finish. https://www.closibai.com
