“Viña Ijalba”
Those words had been following us around Rioja like a strange echo. Their name surfaced in nearly every cellar we went to—yet the estate remained mysterious. It didn’t take long before we gave in to temptation and scheduled a visit.
Straw yellow with golden hues. Very bright and clear. On the nose you are surprised by the fennel-honey combination with hints of green apple, pineapple and citrus fruits. A pleasant, tasty attack.
A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano harvest by hand. The grapes are destemmed then placed in wooden vats. It is then matured in oak barrels that have already been used for 2 or 3 wines for 24 months.
Selection of younger vines with an average age of 20 years located in the heart of Rioja (towns of Clavijo, Alberite, Villamediana and surrounding areas) and planted at height to maximize the fresh and fruity character of the variety.
This village wine is from a collection of vineyards in the highlands around San Vicente, at altitudes of 500m and above, from different sites and soils. Of San Vicente’s six valleys, all but la Rad figure.
This wine has a bouquet of black plum and raspberry, with a hint of violet. It eases onto the palate with flavors of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and clove wrapped in silky tannins that coalesce in a soft finish.
The Izadi Blanco is made from the star grape among Rioja white varieties, the Viura, and and different percentages of Riojan white grapes such as Malvasía, Garnacha Blanca, Maturana, Tempranillo or Torrontés.
