Description Aromas of dark plummy fruit and a whiff of serrano ham on the nose draw you into the wine. The palate is soft, stylish, and seductive, with beautiful plummy fruit, refined tannins, balanced oak and acidity and great length. The finish delivers soft spice, with lovely smoky cedar flavours. Pair with BBQ meats, braises, paella, risotto, pasta, and grilled vegetables. Producer In 1987, Gonzalo Antón, together with a group of friends and business associates from nearby Vitoria-Gasteiz, embarked on a pioneering project in the heart of Rioja Alavesa.The village of Villabuena de Álava, where his family had long cultivated vineyards, was chosen as the site for an innovative winery dedicated to crafting fine wines. Drawing on Gonzalo Antón’s experience in the hotel and restaurant sector, Bodegas Izadi quickly gained recognition within gastronomic circles. At the same time, the adoption of modern winemaking techniques and a continuous pursuit of excellence gradually defined the house style. A steadfast commitment to quality, a deep connection to gastronomy, and a profound respect for the land remain the cornerstones of Bodegas Izadi.
