Ramon Bilbao Edicion Limitada Tempranillo 2020
Ramon Bilbao is a renowned Spanish winery based in Rioja, known for producing high-quality wines that blend tradition with innovation. Established in 1924, the winery specializes in crafting elegant, complex wines, with a focus on Tempranillo grapes. Their top-tier wine, Mirto, is made from old vines in select vineyards and is produced only in exceptional years, reflecting the excellence and craftsmanship that define the Ramon Bilbao legacy. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards located in various villages near Haro, with altitudes ranging between 450 and 700 meters. These vineyards have sandy soils with low fertility and limited water retention. After a meticulous selection of grapes, the wine was fermented in wooden vats at a controlled temperature of 27-28ºC, using natural yeasts. It was then aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels and spent an additional 10 months aging in underground cellars. The winter saw extremely cold weather in 2020, including heavy snowfall and significant rainfall during the ""Filomena"" storm in January. The summer, although warm and dry, experienced some rainfall prior to the harvest, resulting in diverse growing conditions.
Ramon Bilbao Rioja Vinedos de Altura 2021
' Ramon Bilbao is a renowned Spanish winery based in Rioja, known for producing high-quality wines that blend tradition with innovation. Established in 1924, the winery specializes in crafting elegant, complex wines, with a focus on Tempranillo grapes. Their top-tier wine, Mirto, is made from old vines in select vineyards and is produced only in exceptional years, reflecting the excellence and craftsmanship that define the Ramon Bilbao legacy. The grapes come from two areas: Ãbalos for Tempranillo and Tudelilla for Garnacha. The altitude of over 700 meters gives the fruit freshness and elegance. Ãbalos: Sandy soils with decomposed limestone bedrock. Tudelilla: Poor, rocky soils. Grapes are carefully selected, with maceration before fermentation to extract aromas and colours. The two varieties are fermented separately to capture their unique characteristics. Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak vats with the wine on its lees, followed by 15 months of aging. 2020 harvest was a vintage of extremes. Late autumn and early winter were very mild. However, a frost in April reduced production. This vintage has been rated as ''Memorable''. '
