Limit South by Ramón Bilbao is a wine that comes from an unknown location in the Yerga Mountains, where the altitude moderates the summer heat and feels the impact of the Cierzo and the Levant winds, with a clear Mediterranean influence. Aromatic shrubs such as rosemary and thyme predominate.
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 unique style and personality of Ramón Bilbao to a unique wine that explores new areas of Rioja.

Blended and aged in French oak barrels of 225l for 10 months.
