Izadi Blanco Selección

The white 2023 Selección Blanco was produced with a blend of the six local whites—61%, Viura, 11% Maturana Blanca, 10% Tempranillo Blanco, 8% Garnacha Blanca, 5% Malvasía and 5% Turruntés—from different villages and vineyards, fermented in barrel, stainless steel and concrete and matured in 225- and 500-liter barrels for five months. Their whites never go through malolactic fermentation. The heat waves of August made them pick the grapes very early, 10 days earlier than in the already very warm and dry 2022. It's pale, serious and austere and has contained ripeness and a moderate 12.5% alcohol, keeping very good freshness and acidity. It's clean, balanced and fresh, with pristine flavors. 51,259 bottles and 150 magnums produced. It was bottled in March 2024. Part of this wine was kept with the lees in concrete for a further eight months and will be released as a new label in one or two more years.

The white 2021 Selección Blanco was first produced in 1991, and since then, they have used the Viura and Malvasía grapes planted at the beginning of the rows, fermenting them in barrel and have added other varieties since 2016 they. This 2021 is a complex blend of mostly Viura, 11% Garnacha Blanca, 10% Maturana Blanca, 7% Tempranillo Blanco, 3% Torrontés and 3% Malvasía with 13.4% alcohol. It's from a cool vintage that delivered a vibrant wine with great acidity and freshness, serious, clean, with integrated oak and great aging potential. It finishes dry, with a chalky feeling. 48,000 bottles and 100 magnums produced. It was bottled in March 2022.
