Bideona Las Parcelas Blanco Rioja Alavesa 2021

Las Parcelas Blanco comes from high-quality, low-yielding grapes from small, old hilltop vineyard parcels (Parcelas) on limestone soils, which produce wines of notable complexity and length due to the old vines. These carefully selected parcels are located on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria at 420 to 600 metres. The average plot size is just 0.3 hectares, and the average age of the vineyard is approximately 50 years. Still, some of the vines are significantly older, producing low yields of concentrated juice. The bush vines are planted in limestone, calcareous clay
soils, resulting in elegant wines that are fresh, precise and age-worthy due to the balancing acidity. The vines are cultivated with respect for the environment, using minimal sprays of copper and sulphur when required. This Viura field blend is hand harvested in 15-kilogram boxes to preserve the quality, which shines through, displaying the typical character of cooler climate Rioja Alavesa.
