Ramón Bilbao Crianza 2019

Ramón Bilbao, a winery nestled in the hills of Rioja Alta, exemplifies the best of both the past and the future. With Rodolfo Bastida at the helm as their winemaker, Ramón Bilbao rose to the forefront of Rioja's transformation in the late 1990s, becoming known for wines that showcased big, powerful fruit flavors without losing their distinctive Rioja character.

The Ramón Bilbao Crianza is, and always has been, the flagship red wine of Ramón Bilbao. It serves as a benchmark for the rest of the line and a beacon for the winery's commitment to producing wines that are keenly felt by both locals and enthusiasts around the world.

The grapes are individually fermented to preserve their distinct flavors after being hand-selected from the best vineyards in Rioja. After the ingredients have been combined, the blend ages for 14 months in American oak barrels, where it develops complexity, character, and the ideal level of balance.
