Fresh & Juicy

Mayela is Bideona's “Cosechero 2.0” project, a young, juicy, versatile, unoaked red wine that is a contemporary reinterpretation of the grower "cosechero" tradition of Rioja Alavesa.

Bideona produces this wine from beautiful vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, without using any methods that would obscure its personality. The wine is fresh and approachable, but also shows the depth and purity typical from Rioja Alavesa. It is a single wine but carries a series of six sequential labels featuring illustrations of the real growers, as a tribute to their daily work.

Mayela aims to contribute to the preservation of traditional viticulture and to the sustainability of the historic vineyards.

Pair this wine with grilled lamb chops, roasted vegetables, and aged Manchego cheese.

91 points (2024) - Megha Jandhyala, S.J.D., DipWSET.

With its open, unassuming, and unguarded personality, this wine is a lovely entry-point into Biedeona's portfolio. I love the bright fruit flavours, red and dark, resinous herbs, wildflowers, and hints of pepper depicted here. The palate is medium bodied, with supple acidity and balanced, firming tannins. An herbal note lingers on the finish, closing off the delightfully expressive palate. I would enjoy this modern Rioja now or over the next couple of years in order to benefit from its youthful charm. Tasted January 2026.

90 points (2024) - Sara d'Amato

Crisp with delicate floral aromatics, this wine shows the cool, higher-elevation “Alavesa” character, but with greater weight at 14% alcohol. Notes of violet, cherry, raspberry leaf, and pink peppercorn add charm. Juicy, youthful, and effortlessly stylish, both in the glass and in its packaging. Intriguing, satisfying - a not-so-guilty pleasure. Tasted January 2026.
