Description
Established in 1901 in Haro, the historic centre of Rioja, Bodegas Bilbaínas is a benchmark producer renowned for traditional, estate-grown wines shaped by the region's distinctive climate and soils. The 2018 Ederra Rioja Reserva is crafted from hand-harvested Tempranillo sourced from Rioja Alta vineyards, with vinification in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit clarity and freshness. The wine is matured for 18 months in American oak barrels, a classic Rioja practice that brings layers of vanilla, spice and gentle structure. The finished Reserva presents aromas of red plum, cherry, and subtle tobacco, while the palate is medium-bodied and supple, supported by integrated tannins and bright acidity. This wine is ready to enjoy on release but has the balance and complexity for further cellaring.
