Limit South by Ramón Bilbao is a wine that comes from an unknown area in the Sierra de Yerga, where the altitude mitigates the summer heat and the impact of the Cierzo and Levante winds, with a clear Mediterranean influence. Aromatic shrubs such as rosemary and thyme prevail.
The landscape corresponds to the highest part of the eastern end of La Rioja with a clear Mediterranean influence. Thyme, rosemary, holm oak, etc.
Rodolfo Bastida, Technical Director and Winemaker of Bodegas Ramón Bilbao, has managed to convey the style and unique personality of Ramón Bilbao to a unique wine that explores new areas of Rioja.
