A New Way to Wine This Summer: Ramón Bilbao’s Early Harvest Line Refreshes the Season

Iconic Spanish Winery Debuts Lower ABV Rosé and Verdejo in the U.S., Showcasing a Fresh Approach to Winemaking

DALLAS, Texas. (August 4, 2025) – Award-winning Spanish winery, Ramón Bilbao, introduces its “Early Harvest” wines, Rosado and Verdejo, to U.S. consumers for the first time, offering a fresh take on modern winemaking that speaks to today’s growing demand for lower-alcohol, high-quality wines. Crafted from grapes picked two weeks earlier than usual in Spain’s Rioja and Rueda regions, these fresh, vibrant wines contain a lower percentage of alcohol than typical Spanish wines. 

With a crisp profile, a lower alcohol content of 11% ABV, and an accessible $19.99 price point, these limited edition wines are perfectly suited for everyday moments—from casual brunches and aperitivo hour to relaxed afternoon sipping. Whether you're curating a tinned fish tasting board, mixing up a Spanish spritz, or simply looking for a chillable wine to beat the heat, Ramón Bilbao’s Early Harvest collection arrives just in time for the season’s growing appetite for lighter, lower-ABV pours that don’t compromise on flavor.

“We set out to create wines that feel modern and effortless—fresh, vibrant, and lower in alcohol—while staying true to the quality and character Ramón Bilbao is known for,” said Rodolfo Bastida, director of Ramón Bilbao and head winemaker at Zamora Company. “The Early Harvest collection reflects how people are drinking today—with more intention and versatility.”

Ramón Bilbao Early Harvest Rosado ($19.99 MSRP / 11% ABV)

This crisp, pale pink rosé is made from white Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes grown in the cool-climate vineyards of Rioja Alta. With zesty citrus notes, lively acidity, and a smooth finish, it’s a natural match for chilled rosé fans and spritz lovers alike. Try it with fresh summer salads, whipped feta and crudités, or a charcuterie board with prosciutto, marinated olives, and a baguette.

Ramón Bilbao Early Harvest Verdejo ($19.99 MSRP / 11% ABV) 

Made from handpicked Verdejo grapes from the estate’s Finca Las Amedias vineyard, this bright and aromatic white delivers notes of green apple, fresh herbs, and orange blossom. Aged in purpose-built concrete vats to preserve its natural freshness, it’s a go-to for light seafood dishes, Spanish Tinned fish and mussels, or simply sipping in the sun.

As rosé and white wines become everyday staples, Ramón Bilbao’s Early Harvest collection offers a fresh, flavorful alternative for consumers eager to explore lighter, balanced wines without compromising taste. The wines are now available at select retailers nationwide and online at zamorawines.com.
