Making process
Winemaking
It begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration that enhances the aromatic expression of this Verdejo, while working with inert gases protects the must from oxygen and helps to preserve its freshness. Subsequently, the fermentation proceeds slowly and at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks, where the wine's profile is refined and its herbal and floral character, which sets it apart, is reinforced.
Aging
Ramón Bilbao Verdejo 2025 offers a clean and precise production, with no ageing in oak casks. After a cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine ferments slowly and quietly in stainless steel tanks, with work carried out in an inert gas atmosphere to protect it from oxygen and to preserve its freshness and longevity.

The winery
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.
