Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Izadi Crianza Rioja 2021 750ml is a classic Spanish red wine from DOCa Rioja, produced by Bodegas Izadi in Rioja Alavesa. Made from 100% Tempranillo, it reflects the balance, freshness, and oak-aged character that make Rioja Crianza one of Spain’s most popular red wine styles.

The grapes come from old vineyards with an average age of around 45 years, located within the traditional village triangle of Villabuena, Samaniego, and Ábalos. The wine is aged for 14 months in barrel, using a combination of American and French oak, giving it a smooth texture, soft spice, toasted character, and elegant structure.

On the nose, it shows rich red fruit, liquorice, spice, toasted hints, floral notes, and light smoky character. The palate is smooth and balanced, with soft tannins, fresh acidity, ripe fruit, and a long elegant finish.

This is a great everyday premium Rioja for customers who enjoy smooth Spanish red wine with food-friendly character. Serve it with lamb, grilled beef, roast pork, chicken, tapas, tomato-based pasta, paella, charcuterie, and hard cheese.
