The Winery
Founded in 1901 in the town of Haro’s legendary Station Quarter, Bodegas Bilbaínas is the longest-standing bottling winery in Rioja. It also has the most extensive underground cellars in the region and a greater area of vineyards than any other winery in the town: 250 hectares of high quality vines, which supply the winery with its own grapes, ensuring that they can be processed quickly without losing their qualities. Viña Pomal is its flagship brand, which embodies the Rioja Alta's best winemaking tradition. These are exceptional wines that have remained faithful to the classic style of authentic Rioja from the outset.
Elaboration - Vinification
Ederra seeks out wines with full fruitiness and freshness, essential in Verdejo wines from Rueda.
Ederra seeks out wines with full fruitiness and freshness, essential in Verdejo wines from Rueda. Traditional winemaking: after destemming and crushing the must is macerated along with the skins for 4 hours. It is fermented at 14-16 ºC to preserve the Verdejo varietal’s full aromas. The wine is then left with the lees to refine the mouthfeel, after which it is blended with 10% Viura. This tones down the characteristic bitterness of Verdejo rendering a fresh wine that is very easy on the palate.
Vineyard - Viticulture
Selected vine plots at altitudes between 700 and 800 meters above sea level.
