- Pure and intense aromas of dark cherries and blackberries are layered with a hint of violet and clove. A fresh palate with chiselled, chalky tannins and a long mineral finish balances the concentrated fruit beautifully.
The winemaking philosophy is obtaining pure, fresh, well-textured wines that reflect their origin. This wine was vinified without any methods that would obscure the personality of the wine, resulting in a serious, unoaked wine. This is Bidoena’s 'Cosechero 2.0' (Harvester) project, a contemporary reinterpretation of the grower / 'cosechero' tradition of Rioja Alavesa. It is a single wine, with each case of 6 carrying a series of six sequential labels featuring illustrations of Peninsula’s growers as a tribute to their daily work.
Pure and intense aromas of dark cherries and blackberries are layered with a hint of violet and clove. A fresh palate with chiselled, chalky tannins and a long mineral finish beautifully balances the concentrated fruit.

Winery | The grapes come from 300 small, carefully selected parcels situated on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria in Rioja Alavesa. The average age of the vineyard is approximately 50 years, but some of the vines are significantly older; many were planted in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s and produced low yields of concentrated juice. The bush vines are planted in limestone 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. The fruit is hand-harvested in 15-kilogram boxes to preserve the quality. Mayela aims to preserve traditional viticulture and ensure the sustainability of these historic vineyards. |
