Ederra Crianza 2021 is, without a doubt, one of the wines with the best quality-price ratio currently available in the D.O.Ca. Rioja. Its production includes a contribution of the garnacha variety, traditional in Rioja blends for barrel-aged tempranillo wines, providing this red wine with length and freshness, and improving its aging potential. Its 12-month aging in American oak barrels has not only preserved its freshness but has also strengthened its structure and developed its complexity.
A symbol of Rioja classicism for over a hundred years, Bodegas Bilbaínas can boast an enviable trajectory throughout its history. It is worth noting that in 1925 the winery was named Supplier to the Royal Household and Heritage, a title that still appears on some of its labels. Names like La Vicalanda, Viña Pomal, or Ederra itself are well-known thanks to the immense prestige of the parent company. Under the ownership of the Grupo Codorníu since 1997, the winery remains true to its philosophy and the winemaking tradition of Haro.
Enjoy the red Ederra Crianza 2021 alongside cured meats and creamy or semi-cured cheeses, or with dishes featuring legumes, mushrooms, and meats.
```Tasting notes
Ederra Crianza is a garnet red wine with violet hues and medium depth.
On the nose, it reveals varietal aromas of red fruits (raspberry), blue flowers (violets), and licorice, followed by spicy notes with toasted hints (vanilla, coconut).
On the palate, it is pleasant, with light, very polished tannins. Balanced, with fruity notes and medium persistence.

Winemaker
Located in the famous wine region of the Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Bodegas Bilbaínas is one of the historic and benchmark wineries in Rioja. Its origins date back to 1859, when the Bordeaux house Savignon Frères et Cie, fleeing the phylloxera plague, settled in Haro to produce and export wine to France. In 1901, a group of entrepreneurs from Bilbao acquired the facilities, also building a new and monumental winery with underground cellars. Thus, the Bodegas Bilbaínas company was definitively established.
In a short time, its wines gained a strong reputation. So much so that in 1925, this house was honored with the title of Supplier to the Royal Household and Heritage. In 1997, the winery became part of the Grupo Codorníu, undergoing a profound renovation of its facilities and vineyards, as well as a modernization of its wine styles.
Today, Bodegas Bilbaínas boasts an exceptionally extensive estate-owned vineyard in La Rioja: 250 hectares spread across the Haro region, within the subzone of Rioja Alta; and it has enviably solid brands that encompass different styles: from the most classic Viña Pomal, to La Vicalanda (Alta Expresión) and the more modern and youthful Viña Zaco.
