The
The Reserva embodies pure Rioja Alta. It possesses a distinctive complexity, with aromas of red fruit alongside elegant, well-balanced oak. It is fresh, with integrated acidity, great body, a long finish, and rounded tannins.
Vineyards from various estates in Rioja Alta, with vines over 40 years old, planted in a bush training system. The soil consists of sandy and sandy- clay textures, promoting excellent drainage. Pre-fermentation maceration lasts for 4 days, with total maceration lasting 18 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, followed
by 20 months of aging in American oak barrels. After this maturation, the wine undergoes ageing in bottle to achieve perfect harmony before its release onto the market.
With a long history Ramon Bilbao adopt a philosophy centred on giving our wines their own personal expression of Rioja Alta, which they do by revisioning classic ingredients like Tempranillo and American Wood. The aim is to define a fresh and elegant style, producing fruitier wines, in which the character of the grape is fully expressed, rather than hidden behind an excess of wood.
