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

Cold and rainy winter, cool spring and very warm summer. The rains in September and October complemented the complete physiological and phenolic development of the grapes. Rigorous manual selection of clusters in small boxes, selected again in the winery.

ELABORATION AND FERMENTATION

After pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation takes place in French oak vats at 26ºC. Post-fermentation maceration for 7 days and ageing in French oak barrels.  The aging is completed in our underground bottle rack.
