Santalba - A Family Legacy in Rioja Alta
Santalba is a family-owned organic winery nestled in the picturesque Rioja Alta region of Spain. Established in 1964, this winery embodies a deep-rooted passion for the land and a commitment to crafting high-quality wines. With generations of dedication, Santalba has become a respected name in the D.O. Ca. Rioja wine community.
Founder's Vision and Family Involvement
The name Santalba is derived from the founder, Santiago Ijalba, who has been perfecting the art of winemaking since 1964. His vision led to the creation of Bodegas SANTALBA, where he is joined by his children, Roberto and Laura Ijalba Pérez. Together, they blend traditional winemaking techniques with modern international training, ensuring the winery's legacy continues to thrive.
Grape Varieties and Quality Production
At Bodegas SANTALBA, the native Tempranillo grape takes center stage among the red varieties, complemented by Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. For white wines, the winery primarily uses the Viura grape, along with the lesser-known Malvasía riojana, both of which are indigenous to the region.
The combination of premium grapes and the expertise passed down through generations results in exceptional wines.
Each grape is carefully selected for fermentation and aging, leading to a diverse range of high-quality red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines that reflect the unique terroir of Rioja Alta.
