Izadi Rioja Blanco Selección

Well-crafted white Rioja from a producer who knows what they're doing. An expressive nose, offering vibrant lemon zest, juicy white nectarine and hints of pineapple, melon and ripe mango. These intense fruits are combined with sweet spices, subtle vanilla and toastiness from careful oak ageing. A seam of lively acidity on the palate cuts through with flavours of fresh citrus and tropical fruits; expertly balancing the concentrated flavours, and finishing clean and persistent with lingering nuances of floral tones and soft toasted oak. This is sure to satisfy lovers of classic white Rioja style, as well as those who enjoy pairing their bottles to their food - this is a phenomenal wine for a range of aromatic dishes.

Method Magic Founded in 1987 in Villabuena de Álava, Bodegas Izadi was the vision of restaurateur Gonzalo Antón, later propelled onto the global stage by his son Lalo Antón. Set in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, the winery works with prized old vines, many around 45 years of age, across the villages of Villabuena, Samaniego and Ábalos, focusing on low yields and precision viticulture to capture pure terroir expression. The striking, hillside winery is engineered with a 50-metre natural drop, allowing gravity to move the wine gently through each stage, preserving freshness and finesse. For Rioja Blanco Selección, hand-harvested indigenous varieties are carefully pressed, with most of the juice fermented in stainless steel to lock in vibrant aromatics, while selected parcels, primarily Viura and Malvasía, are fermented and lightly aged in new French oak, adding subtle texture and complexity before the final blend is crafted and bottled.
