Izadi Rioja Reserva 2020

Owned and run by Lalo Antón and his family, Izadi, which means ‘nature’ in the Basque language, is a project rooted in a passion for gastronomy and wine. The estate was founded in 1987 by Gonzalo Antón, Lalo’s father, who, at the age of 37 and with a background in restaurants, decided to create his own winery with the aim of producing modern, perfumed, food-friendly wines that are true to their roots and a natural expression of the area.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.
