A wine with a heart.
History begins at the end of the 19th century. The BILBAO MURGA family, with its progenitor D. Ramón at the head, markets the Ramón Bilbao and Viña Turzaballa wines.
1924 was the official year of the winery's foundation, in which Don Ramon Bilbao made his long-held dream come true and the longed-for desire to produce quality wines in the emblematic town of Haro (La Rioja) began to take shape. He is an advanced winemaker in the area, making young wines and ageing some of them, being one of the pioneers in the art of ageing.
All his wines are made in stainless steel tanks with the best technology, controlling scrupulously parameters such as fermentation temperature, evolution and completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, colour extraction, etc.
At present, the winery is being adapted to house oak wood fermentation tanks, fermentation vats of approximately 20,000 litres, to produce wines in the style used at the beginning of the century, thus recovering this artisan tradition. In this way they will obtain wines in which the care, selection and attention will be even greater.
MIRTO
A wine with a heart. The Tempranillo grape from old vines in all its expression. A modern wine, with a great personality, accustomed to being at the top of the most demanding rankings.
WINEMAKING
Everything is art in this wine: from the moment the bunches are chosen at the winery's selection table to the fermentation in small French oak vats. After a careful temperature-controlled fermentation to achieve the maximum extraction of aromas and colour, the wine is transferred to barrels where the malolactic fermentation takes place without racking, only the lees are removed using the periodic "bâtonnage" technique. It completes a period of 24 months in new French Allier oak barrels whose level of toasting has been specially chosen for that vintage. The wine is bottled without any clarification or filtration process.

Tasting Notes | Very dull and bright purple colour. Its wide palette of aromas leads us from black fruits, smoked wood and toasted bread to nutmeg.
On the palate, its soft and elegant texture is appreciated, as well as its power and forcefulness.
The wine unfolds in a multitude of layers that demonstrate the effort of integration between the fruit of the Tempranillo and the subtlety of the ageing in wood.
The wine remains in the mouth leaving a fresh and juicy sensation that brings back the fruits of the beginning. |
