Vintage: 2015 Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Ramon Bilbao
Description:
Bodegas Ramón Bilbao is situated in a privileged location: Haro, in Rioja Alta, a paradise where Rioja’s emblematic grape variety, Tempranillo, grows best. From vines with an average age of 40 years, this concentrated, intense Rioja is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. This soft and supple wine is vibrant ruby in colour with aromas of red cherry and blackberry fruit and slight hints of vanilla on the medium bodied palate. Well structured with a long and pleasant finish which would be ideal with red meat stews and cheeses.
Tasting Note:
Beautiful pale yellow colour, flecked with green tints. Characterised by distinct notes of tropical fruit
accompanied by citrus and a touch of fennel. Its intense nose adds to its freshness and elegance, with a lingering
finish in the mouth, once again noting the green fruit so typical of the Verdejo variety.
