Rioja, Spain / Izadi Selección comes from this winery’s best and oldest vineyards in the so-called golden triangle of Rioja Alavesa. This is 12 hectares of low yield strains with an average age of 60 years old, located on clay-calcareous slopes and lying 520 metres above sea level. They use integrated viticulture, respecting the area’s natural conditions as much as possible and carrying out the harvest manually in 15 kg boxes. After a light destemming and crushing, Izadi Selección ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out with 50% in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% in new barrels. Finally, it ages for 16 months in French and American oak barrels that are new, two years old and three years old
