Bideona 'Las Parcelas' Blanco is an exceptional white wine crafted in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Spain. This wine celebrates the distinctive terroir of high-altitude parcels surrounding the renowned villages of Villabuena, Leza, Laguardia, and Banos del Ebro. Planted predominantly on limestone slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, the vines are incredibly old-many dating back to the early 20th century-and are renowned for yielding concentrated, characterful grapes. Each small, hillside plot, or 'parcela', covers just a fraction of a hectare, emphasising selective, artisanal viticulture. Bideona's philosophy is rooted in purity and transparency, with minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery, ensuring every bottle captures the true essence and freshness of the cooler Rioja Alavesa region. This Viura-based field blend represents a new, site-driven expression of Rioja white wine, delivering complexity, elegance, and a genuine sense of origin.
