The vineyards sit at 700 metres above sea level, meaning the grapes benefit from warm days followed by cool nights and undergo a perfectly paced, slow ripening. This allows them to accumulate great intensity of flavour whilst retaining acidity. The soils are a combination of chalk, clay and pebbles. These old vines are low yielding, around 5 tonnes per hectare, but the fruit that they produce is extremely concentrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe fruit was hand harvested. The grapes were destemmed. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and the wine was aged for six months in a combination of second and third fill 50% French and 50% American oak barrels to enhance the wine’s texture and impart further aromatic complexity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOwned and run by Lalo Antón and his family, Izadi, which means ‘nature’ in the Basque language, is a project rooted in a passion for gastronomy and wine. The estate was founded in 1987 by Gonzalo Antón, Lalo’s father, who, at the age of 37 and with a background in restaurants, decided to create his own winery with the aim of producing modern, perfumed, food-friendly wines that are true to their roots and a natural expression of the area. As well as the winery, the family also run the Michelin-starred restaurant, Zaldiaran, in nearby Vitoria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/izadi.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64695151427961,"sku":"203128822","price":14.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/IzadiLarrosaRiojaNegra.jpg?v=1790235282","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/izadi-larrosa-rioja-negra-2022","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
