Spanish producer Ramón Bilbao has released its first organic wine range in the UK, which includes a Rioja red and Rueda white, via a national listing at the Co-op.
Ramón Bilbao Organic Red is a Tempranillo/Garnacha blend from grapes grown at 600m altitude in Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental, where the higher altitude means easier fungus control and less need for chemical treatments.
The estateâs Rueda Verdejo, meanwhile, uses fruit from an organic plot at Ramón Bilbaoâs Finca las Amedias vineyard next to the winery. Both wines are priced at £10.

For this first of two programmes, Hannah French is joined down the line from New York by wine historian Ron Merlino to explore the music of Lassus while tasting some of the types of wine he encountered at the Court of Duke Albrecht V in Munich.
