An Introduction to Ramon Bilbao

 

Ramón Bilbao is the wine division of a Spanish family-owned spirits company (Zamora International).Our winery is based in Haro the traditional heart of DOC Rioja.

 

We are known for our fresh approach to making Rioja, creating wines that are both modern in style whilst respecting traditional values. We also own wineries in the following Spanish wine growing areas: DO Rias Baixas, DO Ribera del Duero and DO Rueda.

 

We have a strong presence in the domestic market, where our Ramón Bilbao Crianza is the best -selling Crianza in Spain.

 

I joined Ramón Bilbao, just over 2 years ago and represent the company, as Export Manager in both Ireland and the UK. My previous role was with Codorníu (another Spanish wine company), where I worked in a sales and marketing role for 8 years, My journey into the wonderful world of wine started at university where I studied for an MSC and completed a dissertation into the dynamics of the UK Wine Market.

 

From there I have experienced the whole breadth of the trade including Sales, Marketing and Fine Wine Broking. Previous companies have included: Justerini & Brooks, Berry Bros & Rudd and Harrods. I am qualified with the WSET Wine Diploma and am constantly expanding my wine knowledge about Spanish wines, with regular meetings and tastings with our winemaking team.

 

A key part of my job, is explaining the story of the wine and, of course, opening the bottles and hopefully sharing the magic with new customers.
