Magnum, 1.5 litre bottle. Ramon Bilbao Edicion Limitada is a 100% Tempranillo wine from Ramon Bilbao's highest altitude vineyards in Rioja Alta, situated at over 700 metres above sea level. The vines are typically over 40 years old and only the best grape clusters are selected for this wine. The wine is fermented in wooden vats at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged in new French & American oak casks for 14 months followed by a further 10 months in cellar before release. The wine has an intense ruby red colour with black cherry glints and a deep hue. There is a high fruit intensity on the nose, with a perfect balance of dark fruit and oak on the palate. The spicy nuances play a key role, with black pepper, cloves and cumin. Fresh wood aromas with notes of cocoa, dry tobacco leaves and mint and a smooth, fruity mouth-feel with a long finish. There's pleasant, polished tannins with refreshing acidity. |
