Bodegas Santalba is a family estate located in the heart of Rioja Alta and founded in the 1960’s. Today, the 2nd generation, led by Roberto Ijalba and his sister Laura, runs the estate. Combining a profound attachment to family wine tradition with international wine education and experience, Roberto applies a precise parcel management system that gives his wines exceptional quality. The “Colección Privada”, a real favourite of José María Olazábal, portrays the Ijalba’s obsession for beautiful wines.
