Discover the elegance and character of Bideona 'Las Parcelas', a remarkable Rioja Alavesa wine that champions purity of fruit and sense of place over traditional ageing. Crafted in the heart of the prestigious Rioja Alavesa region, Bideona brings a fresh perspective to Rioja by focusing on single-site expression. The vineyards are located on the distinctive limestone slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, surrounding some of the area's most esteemed villages. With an average vine age of 50 years-some even stretching back to the 1920s-these old bush vines yield exquisitely concentrated grapes, hand-harvested in small parcels to capture their natural vibrancy. Sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar ensure each bottle is bursting with true regional identity, purity, and finesse.
