Rioja Blanco 2019
The bodega's name, Santalba, combines the owner's given name, Santiago Ijalba, with his last name, lba. Santiago Ijalba opted to start his own venture, Bodegas Santalba, because of the winery's extensive experience in the production and improvement of fine Rioja wines dating back to 1964. Since then, the Bodega has kept its cozy, family-run vibe with the help of Roberto and Laura Ijalba Pérez, the third and fourth generations of the family to run the business. They've managed to blend the family's winemaking heritage with their own extensive education in viniculture from throughout the world. These vintages are an offering to our ancestors and to San Felices, the patron saint of Haro. The Hermitage, located on the Bilibio cliffs, hosts an annual wine battle on June 29. Bright and vibrant pale yellow color. White flowers and citrus fruits combine for a really delicious scent. Excellent acidity and structure, with a lingering aftertaste. Requests a fresh glass be filled.
