The wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano grapes sourced from the best vineyards in the region.

The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is complex, elegant, and full-bodied, with notes of black fruit, spices, and vanilla. Ramón Bilbao Mirto is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality Rioja wine with a unique character.
