Ramón Bilbao Rosado 2025 revives the tradition of pale rosés in Rioja Alta. Made with garnacha and a touch of the white grape viura, it is a fine and fresh wine, dominated by notes of fresh fruit and floral and herbal hints. Subtle and complex at the same time.
Rosé wines have emerged as the most dynamic chapter in wine production in our country. During the current decade, they have made a significant qualitative leap to become wines that captivate the most discerning palates. Ramón Bilbao Rosado 2025 aligns with the new generation of lighter rosés, with low pigmentation, fresh on the palate, delicate, herbal, and less sweet. A true classic among the rosés of Rioja Alta. Its blend includes the red garnacha grape and the white viura grape, two traditional varieties from Rioja.
The vineyards that supply it are located between 550 and 770 meters above sea level in various estates situated in Alto Najerilla, on the slopes of Sierra de la Demanda, with rocky soils, areas of clay, and lower limestone levels compared to other areas of La Rioja. Maceration occurred in contact with the grape skins at a low temperature for 3 hours to achieve a light salmon-pink color. After this time, the must was collected and fermented in tanks at a low temperature to preserve its aromatic profile.
Bodegas Ramón Bilbao was founded in 1924 by Ramón Bilbao Murga, one of the pioneer winemakers. From its location on the outskirts of Haro, Ramón Bilbao stands out as one of the most traditional and renowned wineries of Rioja Alta. In the 1990s, it played a key role in the renewal of Rioja wines. Since 1999, Ramón Bilbao has been owned by the Restoy-Zamora family.
With the turn of the century and change in ownership, Bodegas Ramón Bilbao has undertaken significant investments to modernize the production process without abandoning tradition. Additionally, it has invested heavily in vineyards; in fact, in the last five years, it has doubled its owned vineyards. Today, this winery enjoys significant visibility in the Spanish market, with notable presence in the restaurant sector, and its excellent work is annually recognized with international awards and high ratings.
Ramón Bilbao Rosado 2025 is a wine belonging to the D.O.Ca. Rioja, ideal as an aperitif and to accompany cold dishes such as white asparagus, seafood salad, grilled vegetables, beef carpaccio, or some risottos

Creators' opinion
It is a Provençal-style wine with an appealing pale grapefruit color. Fruity and fresh, complex, with a pronounced acidity. On the palate, it has a very smooth texture and is easy to drink.
Founded in 1924 by Ramón Bilbao Murga himself, since 1999 Bodegas Ramón Bilbao has been part of Grupo Zamora, which is owned by the Restoy Zamora family. From its extensive experience, its position as a pioneering company in the “art” of barrel aging stands out. In its most recent phase, its spectacular growth (from producing 600,000 bottles to 3,000,000 bottles today) and the modernization plan for its facilities and wine styles are noteworthy, largely due to the acquisition of productive vineyards and the planting of new vines in Rioja.
Located in Haro, the heart of Rioja wine, Ramón Bilbao is one of the wineries with the most tradition and prestige in the Rioja Alta. Its long history, supported by its excellent fieldwork and the application of modern winemaking, places it among the benchmark brands of Rioja vineyards. Its winemaker, Rodolfo Bastida, played an active role in the renewal carried out in the 1990s to give Rioja wines greater fruit presence and concentration. Ramón Bilbao owns 180 hectares of its own vineyards and oversees an additional 818 hectares from regional growers.
In 2010, Ramón Bilbao expanded its reach to the D.O. Rueda to produce interesting Verdejos. With the 2016 vintage, they inaugurated their own winery in this region, the homeland of Verdejo, where they already have 60 hectares of vineyards.
