The Bideona project focuses on showcasing the unique, fresh character of wines from the high-elevation, northern sub-region of Rioja Alavesa. The name "de Laderas" translates to "from the slopes," referencing the vineyards located on the steep terraces characteristic of this area.

Fresh, savory, and wonderfully drinkable, with cherry, red berries, plum, thyme, and a subtle mineral edge. Medium-bodied and juicy, with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that give it just enough structure. A cooler-climate take on Rioja that feels less about oak and more about the fruit, hillsides, and limestone soils.
