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
A personal selection of the winemaker from among the best Viña Pomal wines.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts at 28-30 ºC of the three wines separately, and a total maceration of 25 days. Aged for 20 months in American oak barrels (84%) and French oak (16%). One third of the barrels are new. During this time, racking allows us to clean the wine by natural decantation. After its time in the barrel, the wine is assembled before being bottled, where it remains for two years before being released to the market.
Vineyard - Viticulture
The Viña Pomal estate consists of 90 hectares of vineyards.
Nestled in the municipality of Haro and less than 2 kilometers from the winery, they are located in one of the most beautiful areas of the city; through them we can enjoy the passage of the Ebro River through the shells of Haro.
In our D.O.Ca. Rioja different ecosystems depending on the variability of the soil and solar exposure, which translates into an exhaustive work of selection of homogeneous areas. The viticulture applied is a mixture of traditional Rioja viticulture and precision viticulture, resulting in a viticulture that is committed to innovation in order to protect nature, always under the parameters of obtaining maximum quality.
