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.

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

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

About the Winery

Bideona

Bideona owns or manages over 300 parcels of extraordinary vines in villages throughout the Rioja Alavesa, the coolest, smallest and most Atlantic sub-zone of Spain’s most famous wine region.

The vineyards of the Rioja Alavesa are defined by parcels of old bush vines planted on terraces or hillside slopes with a high percentage of limestone. Located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, Bideona’s vines have an average age of 50 years and many were planted in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, before high-yielding clones became available.

Bideona puts the focus firmly on terroir by making each wine in its Vino de Pueblo range as a field blend of Tempranillo and other native varieties from plots in an individual village. Each is named with an acronym – L3Z4 for Leza, L4GD4 for Laguardia, S4MG0 for Samaniego and V1BN4 for Villabuena – owing to DOCa Rioja regulations that only allow village names to be marked if both the winery and the vineyard are in the same location.

“Bideona’s reason for existence is to make wines that show the personality of the Rioja Alavesa and its historic wine villages” states company co-founder and director, Andreas Kubach MW. “We have access to a wealth of diverse plant material in our parcels of old vines, which we believe contributes to the complexity of the wines as well as the differences between villages.”
