100 YEARS OF HISTORY
Our style
With this philosophy, we’ve created a fresh and elegant style, where the fruit is the undisputed star, fully expressing its character, without being overshadowed by the excessive use of oak. This is what we like to call the
“Ramón Bilbao twist”.
“Capturing the unique essence of our vineyards in Rioja and Rueda in every bottle we produce.”

Our winemakers
Behind every one of our wines is someone who has crafted it for others to enjoy. Get to know them.
RODOLFO BASTIDA
Like many of the best winemakers, Rodolfo Bastida stumbled upon this field by chance, though his family happened to be from La Rioja and cultivated the land. He has a degree in Agricultural Engineering and a Master’s in Enology and Viticulture. His obsession with experimenting and creating wines with strong character drew him fully into the world of winemaking.
In 1999, he became General Director of Bodegas Ramón Bilbao, where his innovative vision was implemented. His philosophy focuses on the importance of caring for every detail in the cultivation of grapes to create wines with character. His leadership and commitment have been crucial in making Ramón Bilbao one of the most admired wine brands in the world.
ROSANA LISA
Born in Huesca, Rosana graduated in Chemical Sciences and obtained her Master’s in Enology at the University of La Rioja in 2002.
She has extensive experience in winemaking, having begun her career at Roda and later worked with other prestigious producers in various D.O.s, including Calatayud and Cariñena, where she focused on producing Garnacha wines. She is now Rodolfo Bastida’s right-hand at Bodegas Ramón Bilbao, where she is also Director of Wine Innovation and Deputy Technical Manager. Additionally, she leads the exclusive Lalomba winery project and is currently studying for the WSET Diploma in Bordeaux.
SARA BAÑUELOS
Though born in Badajoz, Sara has Riojan wine-making in her blood. She holds a degree in Enology and a degree in Agricultural Engineering with a focus on Food Industries. Following her studies, she has spent harvest after harvest working on research projects related to enology and viticulture.
Over the years, she has gained experience at several wineries in the D.O. Rueda, learning the secrets of wineries of all kinds, be they large, small or family-run. Her valuable experience and knowledge of Castilla y León eventually led her to work at Ramón Bilbao, where she is now responsible for Rueda.
