Izadi Selección Blanco explores the diversity of white Rioja through six native grape varieties. Viura provides the foundation, joined by Maturana Blanca, Garnacha Blanca, Tempranillo Blanco, Malvasía and Turruntés to create layers of citrus, white and tropical fruit with attractive floral character.
Made from old vineyards and recovered native varieties, the wine combines stainless-steel fermentation with a proportion fermented in new French oak. The result is textured and complex without sacrificing freshness: gentle toast and spice sit behind vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity. It's a fascinating choice when you want white Rioja whose complexity comes from its grapes as much as its winemaking.
Izadi Selección Blanco shows just how much variety exists within white Rioja. Rather than relying on Viura and oak alone, Izadi brings together six of Rioja's native white grapes, creating a wine with layers of citrus, white and tropical fruit, floral aromas and gentle spice.
There's enough oak influence to add texture and subtle toasted character, but freshness remains central. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for a more complex white Rioja and are curious about what Rioja's less familiar native grapes can contribute.
Merchant's Tip
The interesting thing here isn't simply that six grapes appear on the label. It's what Izadi is trying to achieve with them. Viura remains the foundation, while five less familiar Rioja varieties broaden the wine's fruit, floral and textural character. If you've mainly experienced white Rioja through Viura, this offers a very different way to explore it.
Nose
Expressive white and tropical fruit with citrus and floral aromas, backed by subtle toasted and spicy notes.
Palate
Fresh, flavoursome and well textured, combining citrus and white fruit with refreshing acidity and greater breadth than a straightforward young white. Gentle oak influence contributes spice and texture without obscuring the fruit.
Finish
Fresh and persistent, with white flowers, citrus fruit and a lightly toasted character lingering at the end.
Choose Izadi Selección Blanco if you want to explore a more distinctive side of white Rioja. Its appeal isn't simply greater richness or more oak: much of its complexity comes from combining Viura with five other native Rioja varieties, including Maturana Blanca, Garnacha Blanca and Tempranillo Blanco.
If you're still deciding between fresher, unoaked styles and richer or more complex expressions, our White Rioja collection lets you compare the different routes available.
Viura makes up 55% of the blend, providing the wine's foundation, but Izadi deliberately looks beyond Rioja's best-known white grape. Maturana Blanca contributes 14%, Garnacha Blanca 13%, Tempranillo Blanco 8%, with Malvasía and Turruntés each contributing 5%.
The fruit comes from old vineyards around Villabuena and from vineyards of recovered native Rioja varieties. These grapes give Izadi a broader palette of flavours and textures than would be possible from Viura alone, helping explain the combination of citrus, white and tropical fruit, floral character and freshness found in the finished wine.
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel, with a proportion fermented in new French oak. This allows oak to contribute texture, toast and spice while leaving the fruit and natural freshness of the different varieties clearly visible.
This interest in Rioja's native grapes is part of a much wider approach at Izadi. If you'd like to understand why the producer works this way, our Why Choose Izadi Wines? guide explores the vineyards, grape varieties and philosophy behind its wines.
The combination of freshness, texture and gentle oak makes Izadi Selección Blanco particularly versatile with food. Try it with cod and other white fish, seafood, rice dishes, risotto, roast vegetables or lighter poultry dishes.
Serve at around 9–12°C. It doesn't need to be served excessively cold; allowing it to warm slightly in the glass helps reveal the different fruit, floral and gently toasted elements.

This is one of the more revealing white Riojas in the range because its complexity isn't explained by oak alone. Izadi uses six native varieties to show how much diversity exists within Rioja's white grapes, while retaining the freshness that makes the wine immediately enjoyable.
For someone curious about white Rioja beyond straightforward Viura, it offers a particularly interesting route: plenty to discover, but still fresh, balanced and very easy to enjoy.
