*** Bronze Medal at Decanter World Wine Awards *** Country: Spain  Varietal: Verdejo  Colour: White Style: Dry Producer: Ramon Bilbao  Description: Bodegas Ramón Bilbao is situated in a privileged location: Haro, in Rioja Alta, a paradise where Rioja’s emblematic grape variety, Tempranillo, grows best. From vines with an average age of 40 years, this concentrated, intense Rioja is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. This soft and supple wine is vibrant ruby in colour with aromas of red cherry and blackberry fruit and slight hints of vanilla on the medium bodied palate. Well structured with a long and pleasant finish which would be ideal with red meat stews and cheeses. Tasting Note: Beautiful pale yellow colour, flecked with green tints. Characterised by distinct notes of tropical fruitaccompanied by citrus and a touch of fennel. Its intense nose adds to its freshness and elegance, with a lingeringfinish in the mouth, once again noting the green fruit so typical of the Verdejo variety. Food Matches: Fish / Salad
