Grape Varieties
Límite Norte 50% Maturana Blanca and 50% Tempranillo Blanco.
Vineyards and Climate
The vineyards are located in the highest part of the easternmost part of La Rioja. Northern exposure and continental-atlantic climate. Altitude 500-600m.
Soils
Shallow, alluvial and gravel soil with little moisture retention. Warm, favouring ripening through the absorption of temperature from the stones.
Wine maker
Rodolfo Bastida is the winery’s conductor. He is in charge of transmitting the style and unique personality of Ramón Bilbao to our wines and, with Límite Norte, this personality is reflected in a wine which is as unusual, as it is special.
Vinification and Ageing
Cold maceration of the Maturana Blanca, to favour the primary aromas and tannins of the variety. Fermentation in concrete vats and aged on the fine lees in concrete vats, amphora and 600 litre casks. Blended and aged in 225 litre French oak casks for 6 months and 12 months in the bottle.
