Izadi Blanco 2023 is a sensational white wine that revives native varieties from Rioja. A coupage that includes viura, malvasía, garnacha blanca, tempranillo blanco, maturana blanca, and turruntés. The grapes come from old vines located in Rioja Alavesa, and a percentage of the wine was fermented in oak barrels.
The oldest vineyards in the municipality of Villabuena (Rioja Alavesa), planted in 1960, are the foundation of Izadi Blanco 2023. An original wine created with the classic varieties of Rioja whites: viura (mainly) and malvasía, along with four minor local grapes: garnacha blanca, tempranillo blanco, maturana blanca, and turruntés. After manual harvesting, destemming, and gentle pressing, fermentation took place in stainless steel and a small percentage in new barrels.
With three decades of history behind it, Bodegas Izadi can boast of being one of the most prominent wineries both within and beyond our borders. This is evidenced by the many accolades their wines have received. One of the most recent is their inclusion in the list of the 100 best wineries in the world, according to the prestigious American magazine Wine & Spirits. Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Izadi crafts wines that express the terroir. They are committed to precision viticulture in tiny plots with old vineyards that produce high-quality grapes with very low yields. Discover their magnificent Izadi Blanco 2023.

Founded in 1987 by Gonzalo Antón, Izadi belongs to the second wave of wineries that, in the 1990s, placed Rioja at the forefront of modernity, with a philosophy that prioritizes viticulture, terroir, and vineyard care: the grape as the foundation and main protagonist.
Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, within the triangle formed by Villabuena, Lapuebla, and Samaniego, Izadi produces wines praised by international critics. It has 187 hectares of vineyards (70 of them owned), distributed across small plots, each with its own unique characteristics and subject to meticulous monitoring. These are old vineyards with high-quality production and low yields. Following this, the winemaking process is based on grape selection and careful, measured aging in barrels from the most renowned oak forests and cooperages.
Izadi was the original winery of the Grupo Artevino, now led by Lalo Antón, son of Gonzalo.
