Bodegas J.F. Iradier

Located in Samaniego, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, Bodegas J.F. Iradier is a family-run winery where history and tradition come together. Deeply rooted in one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions, the winery reflects the authentic spirit of Rioja, combining generations of knowledge with a strong connection to the land. Surrounded by vineyards and protected by the mountains, the estate benefits from an ideal microclimate that shapes the character of its wines. Here, every step of the process is guided by respect for tradition, creating wines that are honest, vibrant, and representative of their origin.

The flagship wine of Bodegas J.F. Iradier is Sayón, a young wine crafted using the traditional carbonic maceration method, a hallmark of Rioja Alavesa winemaking. This technique enhances freshness, fruit expression, and aromatic intensity. Sayón is a harmonious blend of native grape varieties — Tempranillo, Viura, Garnacha, and Graciano — resulting in a lively and balanced wine that captures the essence of the region. With its vibrant character and smooth drinkability, it is the perfect introduction to the winery’s style and a true expression of Rioja’s youthful energy.
