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.”

This is a high altitude, old vine viura from the foothills of the Cantambrian mountains in Rioja Alavesa. It has pure crystalline nose of lemon, pear, subtle chive and wet stone. It is crisp, taut and very well balanced with only 12.5% alcohol providing the sense of restraint. Really nicely done. The length is excellent. This should age very well, as the best white Riojas usually do, Might even expand its flavour profile. Tasted December 2024

Quite the concentrated though also sharp and pointed white Rioja from Bideona called Las Parcelas which refers to the blocks chosen for this unique cuvée. Not just sharp but high acid to elevate the boldness of the build in a medium-bodied while also amply ripe viura that lowers significantly from 2020 to finish here at 12.6 percent alcohol. Comparatively speaking this is tighter and of a greater intensity without compromise, though fruit (other than citrus) does not dominate the poignancy of this truly salty vintage. Drink 2024-2027. Tasted December 2024.

A relative newcomer to Rioja, Bodega Bideona was founded in 2018 and is a joint venture between Basque entrepreneur and txakoli producer, Gorka Izagirre and Península Viticulores, which is run by two Masters of Wine Andreas Kubach and Sam Harrop. The estate manages 100 hectares of vineyards in 300 plots across the foothills of the Sierra de Catabria that include a site planted in 1920. The "Las Parcelas" Blanco is made from 100% viura from various sites and features almond, yellow apple, pear, and just-ripe white peach. This juicy, lightly oily find is high in acid and salty, chalky mineral. Offers an appealing texture, little to no oak, a very good concentration of flavours and notable structure. Features a firm finish of memorable length. Tasted December 2024.

A 'regional' wine in the Bideona internal classification, produced from multiple parcels throughout the Rioja Alavesa, absent oak influence, this is yet another impeccably-made, balanced wine from this highly reliable estate. I love the sapid acids, drawing saliva, the slight tug of tannins framing the autumnal fruit, the lingering finish. Succulent and saline, delicious and fairly priced. Drink or hold 3-4 years for maximum benefits. Tasted December 2024.

One of Bideona's 'single village' wines, in this case Villabuena, this is gorgeous wine, full stop. Hillside vineyards sit around 500 m above sea level, and ripening is later than in Laguardia but earlier than in Leza, a sort of Goldilocks zone for balance, concentration and freshness. Just less than half of the 2020 was aged in 300l barrels (one- quarter new) with the rest in tank, adding to the freshness and preserving the floral nature of 'mountain' tempranillo. I love the silky precision on the palate and the streak of savoury herbs that run through from start to long finish. Acids are perfectly ripe and crunchy, and the perfume lingers on and on. Delicious now, but no rush - hold easily into the '30s. Tasted December 2024.

One of of Bodega Bideona's four Vinos de Pueblo (village- designated) series of wines, each with their own acronym. In this case VIBN4 to represent Villabeuna at an elevation in and around 500m. Considered a field blend but with mostly tempranillo and a 50-50 aging style, barrels and tanks for that integrated layering of micro-ox and equalling freshness. A village wine of sleek fruit and authentic flaws, meaning the human eye sorts the grapes, not a machine and character inevitably ensues. Luxe and ripe with a whisper of Villabeuna swarthiness though frescura outworks obscura for a dangerously clean and easy red to knock back. There is some grip, punch and circumstance, so be aware of the sober power of this wine. Will age gracefully for three-plus years. Drink 2024- 2027. Tasted June 2024.

Nine months has done nothing to diminish the energy and swagger of Las Parcelas which brings together fruit from Bideona’s four distinct terroirs each labeled under a viñedos singulares distinction. Sure this may lack the depth of those unique expressions but it does gather them as one layered tempranillo and best of all the 2021 vintage is presented in high esteem. Much anticipation for what else is still to come. Last tasted December 2024. Las Parcelas takes winemaker Tao Platon’s Rioja work to another level because fruit remains at the core in the most pure and clear way. There is little to no distraction by wood or other winemaking work and terroir speaks about as prominently as it can in a wine at this price level. Perfumed, silken, moderate of style, easy to drink and finely tannic without austerity or unnecessary grip. Fine in so many ways. Drink 2025-2030. Tasted March 2024.

Bideona draws from over 300, mostly tiny parcels in Rioja Alavesa, the highest sub- region in the denomination, aiming to capture the perfume and freshness of high-elevation tempranillo and other locals. Las Parcelas, is a blend of parcels, considered a 'regional' wine in the portfolio's hierarchy, below single vineyard and single village wines, but's it's a beauty on every level, especially having moved past the reductive stage noted in my previous review. I love the delicate fragrance offered straight off the top, replete with fresh red fruit and an herbal-floral twist, almost peppery, while the palate delivers crunchy limestone acids and silky-firm tannins lending a sandy texture. I enjoy the freshness of fruit now, though I suspect tannins will soften nicely over the next year or two if you're seeking more silk. Tasted December 2024. Previous: Bideona's Las Parcelas Rioja hails from the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria in the Rioja Alavesa, the highest elevation vineyards in the denomination. There's a slightly reductive edge to this young, predominantly tempranillo- based red, with a mix of both fresh red and also black fruit, with notable floral components and a notable lack of obvious wood influence, you could say a more contemporary style. The palate is plush and nicely concentrated without excess, deeply fruit with lasting flavours. It makes a great counterpart to Bideona's more traditional Artelan Reserva bottling at a similar price, two styles, two very good wines. Drink this one from about 2026-2032. Tasted March 2024.

L4GD4, one of four viñedos singulares or singular landscape explorations from Bideona from a range of tempranillo also known as Viños de Pueblo. This old vines example is Laguardia, literally “the guard” because of its defence position for what is a most endearing village. Ripens early, followed by that of the others in the line - Samaniego, Villabuena and Leza. The 2020 feels like a wine of more substance and depth than that of 2019 though without the same level of intensity. That said there is a seriousness, at times a brooding character and in the end a profundity that must be recognized. Has already done some travelling and maturing but there should be no reason to think it won’t drink well for another six or seven years. Drink 2024-2029. Tasted December 2024.
