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
The grapes were picked manually using boxes.
The grapes were picked manually using boxes. At the time of harvest, we carried out a selection process to ensure that only those grapes which had ripened optimally were taken to the winery. The grapes were sorted twice, first carrying out a cluster selection and then a berry selection after destemming. For this vintage, removal of raisined berries after destemming was essential. Fermentation took place with native yeasts in open tanks, combining punch downs and pumpovers. Maceration took 21 days and fermentation took place at 26 °C in an effort to achieve a gentle extraction.
Vineyard - Viticulture
