Founded in 1987 by restaurateur Gonzalo Antón, Izadi may be a young bodega compared to many in Rioja but it’s up there with the best. Every aspect of this showpiece cellar, built into a steep hillside, is geared to producing the finest wines from top quality, old vine grapes. Wine magazine has described them as having a “delicious, modern style”. Izadi’s winemaker is the brilliant Ruth Rodriguez and she has helped the winery achieve greatness – Wine & Spirits magazine named it one of the World’s Top 100 wineries. Aged for 22 months in French oak casks, the Reserva 2015 has excellent concentration thanks to 50 year old vines. Intense red fruit is infused with fragrant vanilla and mocha. Decant an hour in advance; serve with rack of lamb.
