Product Notes

Izadi Rioja Reserva is a red wine from the Rioja region of Spain. This wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha grapes, which are harvested from the vineyards of Izadi winery. The grapes are carefully selected and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 16 months, which gives it a deep ruby color, as well as a complex aroma and flavor profile.

The Izadi Rioja Reserva has a rich and intense bouquet of black fruit, balanced with notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and spice. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, with a velvety texture and flavors of ripe blackberry, black currant, and dark chocolate. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. This wine is perfect to pair with grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful nose adorned with black and red currant fruits, tobacco, liquorice and earthy undertones. The palate is deep and mouthfilling, with a medium-full body. Overall, a very pure, rich and concentrated Rioja. The 2018 has more fruity characteristics and a notable freshness compared to the 2017 vintage and has a very interesting potential for ageing.

About the Winery

Izadi

Started by the Anton family in 1987, Izadi has become one of the popular faces of the Spanish wine market today. Gonzalo Anton and his friends started this label in Rioja Alavesa. Anton was blessed with rich knowledge related to wines because his family was already into the business was growing grapes in the village of Villabuena de Alava. Within no time, Anton spread his business rapidly and became one of the top wine producers in Spain.

Izadi wines are made from vineyards that are spread across 178 hectares. Out of these, the Anton family owns 70 hectares. These sprawling vineyards border the areas of Villabuena, Samaniego and Abalos. These three places form a triangle that defines the trail of the Izadi vineyards. 

Izadi, in Spanish means, “nature”. The Bodegas (winery) is designed with this concept in mind. Located on a slope with the altitude difference of each level fixed at 50m, the winery at Izadi makes use of the natural gravity to make wine at five levels. Each and every step in the winemaking processes focuses on extracting the natural flavours of the fruits and retaining them, so that the wines represent the true personality of the terroir.

Some of the popular Izadi wines are:

  • Larrosa Blanca – white wine made from 100% Garnacha Blanca varietals.
  • Blanco – made from 65% Viura, 10% Malvasia, 10% Garnacha Blanca, 5% Tempranillo Blanco, 5% Maturana Blanca and 5% Turruntes
