More information Ramón Bilbao Reserva 2018 Wine
A wise wine with all the knowledge and flavour of the Rioja Alta.
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.
HARVEST AND SELECTION OF CLUSTERS
Harvest with grapes from 40-year-old vines, qualified as Very Good by the Control Board of the D.O.Ca Rioja. Dry year with high temperatures from May. The rain at the end of September improved the physiological, phenolic and aromatic ripening of the bunches.
ELABORATION AND FERMENTATION
Mixture 90% Tempranillo and 10% between Graciano and Mazuelo aimed at preserving the primary character of the fruit with pre-fermentation maceration for 3-4 days and post-fermentation for 5-7 days. Daily pumping and punching. The vo is filtered and clarified until the end of the process. Aging in American barrels for 20 months and 20 more months in the bottle.
