Bodega Bideona represents a new generation of Rioja wines, defined by the precise origin of their grapes rather than winemaking techniques. Its 282 small vineyard plots, averaging 0.3 hectares and over 50 years old, include vines planted between 1920 and 1960, reflecting a unique cultural and biological heritage. The Bideona Village-Wine range highlights the distinct character of Rioja Alavesa’s wine-growing villages, a nuance often lost during the industrialization of Rioja, when blending and technique overshadowed origin. These wines restore the importance of village identity, allowing each bottle to express the place it comes from.
Bideona’s Village Wine series explores the distinct character of Rioja Alavesa’s historic wine villages, with each cuvée offering a pure expression of its individual terroir. The wines are labelled using registered acronyms rather than village names due to a quirk in the region’s regulations—so Villabuena becomes V1BN4.
A highly drinkable yet age-worthy expression of Rioja Alavesa, Bideona Villabuena comes from hillside vineyards at around 500 metres, protected by the Sierra Cantabria. It strikes a beautiful balance between freshness, elegance and concentrated fruit, with precise berry aromas, fine-grained tannins and a wonderfully fluid, energetic palate.
