About Que Vida

The name Santalba is a combination of the owner and founder's first and surname: Santiago Ijalba. Santiago Ijalba chose to create his own personal initiative, Bodegas Santalba, based on his knowledge in the formulation and nurturing of exceptional Rioja wines since 1964. Since then, the Bodega has kept an unmistakably identifiable character, with the help of her children, Roberto and Laura Ijalba Pérez, who mixes the family's wine legacy with an international wine education.
