White Rioja is one of the most food-friendly wines on the planet. Izadi’s white vines are grown at high altitude, making for cooler conditions, in turn making fresher wines. They mature it in French oak, subtler than the more common American oak, lending toastiness, spice and texture.

Wine CategoryPowerful, rich, oaky whites
Tasting NotesVanilla, cashew nut and pear aromas - the oak brings some interest and complexity here without overwhelming the wine. This has some textural interest - a slight drying sensation from the oak barrels. Not a powerful wine, this is more about understated elegance; but there is no lack of concentration and intensity.
