  “The Quiet Genius”

  Fresh, textural, and layered with subtle complexity, this white Rioja captures the purity of high-altitude Viura. Pale straw with green reflections, it opens with aromas of pear, white peach, and citrus zest, woven with delicate floral notes and a whisper of fennel. The palate is crisp yet rounded, with orchard fruit, lemon peel, and hints of almond that glide across a mineral backbone, finishing long, precise, and quietly assured.

  For when: you want a wine that speaks softly but leaves an impression.
  Pairs with: roast chicken, grilled hake, or a good conversation that stretches into the night.
  If this wine were a character, it’d be the one who listens more than they talk and always says something brilliant when they do.

  Bideona is a new voice in Rioja Alavesa with an old soul, founded on a vision to showcase the region’s extraordinary old-vine vineyards. The winery works with more than 300 small parcels, many planted between 1920 and 1979 on limestone-rich soils at high elevations. Their philosophy is simple but profound: craft wines that transmit the character of place with clarity, precision, and respect for heritage. Las Parcelas is the purest expression of this approach, a wine that honours both vineyard and grower.

Once they arrive, they undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. After pressing the juice is then decanted into barrels to rest on its lees for approximately 10 months.

  2020 Rioja Tinto, Bodega Alegre Valganon

  £2095

  Winemaker Oscar Alegre is at the forefront of a revolution in Spain. “Traditional Rioja is actually only 150 years old, driven by French influence at the end of the 19th Century – but Alegre Valgañon are among those championing a return to the much deeper roots of the region, making wine as it was before Phylloxera. Oscar and his wife Eva make gorgeous, sculpted Rioja from old plots of vines in the shadow of the Obarenes Mountains which are some of the highest and coolest in the region, yielding wines that are refined and aromatic.  Their vineyard plots are managed meticulously and they favour whole bunch fermentation, long macerations and ageing in large, neutral barrels.

  In the glass this 2020 Rioja Tinto is silky smooth with a freshness and lightness of touch to it’s crunchy red, mineral tinged fruits.  Garnacha adds a little bit of weight but overall the wine is wonderfully silky and elegant with terroir and fruit shining through rather than oak.
