Izadi, Rioja Reserva 375ml Half Bottle

€13.99

This Reserva Rioja is one of our all-time favourites, BUT we have so many full-bottle competitors it's hard to have everyone present... 

This is why we are proud to use the HALF BOTTLE!

This is classic, modern Rioja - full-bodied but not too overpowering, with concentrated strawberry and vanilla notes on the nose, leading to a lush, medium-concentrated palate that has vibrancy and generosity in spades.

Izadi owns 178 hectares of its own vines and works closely with selected growers for another 108 hectares of old vines with an average age of 45 years. All located within the triangle formed by the three villages of Villabuena, Samaniego and Ábalos. The vineyards are planted as bush vines, a method which Izadi believes gives better exposure of the grapes, which, in turn leads to better ripeness and softer, fuller wines. Well, it's certainly part of their identity and charm. Planted at between 450-550 metres above sea level, the diurnal changes are perfect for the nurturing of aromatic qualities in the grapes, the colour in the skins and the retention of fresh acidity.

It's a slightly different, but very welcome view of how Rioja can be made. And we are truly grateful for their opinion!

Soft, smooth and complex with ripe red berry, blackberry and subtle, integrated spices, all wrapped up in silky tannins and a long balanced finish.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
