Cabezadas Viura comes from old, low‑yielding hilltop vineyards (“cabezadas”) planted on calcareous clay soils, traditionally the home of Rioja Alavesa’s finest whites.
Fermented and aged in a mix of stainless steel, concrete, and used oak, it’s fresh, subtle, and beautifully pure: stone fruit, white flowers, and a gentle struck‑match note on the nose, leading into a crisp, dry palate with a lightly mineral finish. Elegant, refreshing, and food‑friendly, it’s a modern take on Rioja Alavesa Viura that still honours its historic roots.

Bodega Bideona is a modern Rioja Alavesa project built entirely around terroir expression, managing more than 300 tiny old‑vine parcels across villages like Villabuena, Samaniego, Laguardia, Leza, Navaridas, and Baños de Ebro. Their vineyards average 50 years old, with many dating back to the 1920s–40s, all rooted in the region’s signature limestone‑rich hillside soils beneath the Sierra Cantabria. The winemaking is led by New Zealander Nick Goldschmidt, whose vineyard‑first philosophy and international experience bring a fresh, precise, and site‑driven lens to Rioja. Instead of focusing on ageing categories, Bideona crafts village, parcel, and hillside wines using stainless steel, concrete, and older oak to preserve clarity, freshness, and pure Rioja Alavesa identity.
