Bodegas Bilbainas - Vina Pomal Crianza 2021 Rioja (1x75cl)

The Bodegas Bilbainas Viña Pomal Crianza 2021 represents a quintessential expression of traditional Rioja. Sourced predominantly from vineyards within the Rioja Alta sub-region, known for its calcareous clay soils and Atlantic influence, this wine benefits from optimal ripening conditions.

Crafted primarily from Tempranillo, with judicious additions of Garnacha and Graciano, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel before an exacting oak regime. It matures for a minimum of 12 months in American oak barrels, followed by further bottle ageing, adhering strictly to the Crianza classification requirements. This process imparts complexity and structure while preserving the vibrant fruit character inherent to the varietal and vintage.

Tasting notes

On the nose, the Viña Pomal Crianza 2021 presents an aromatic profile of ripe red berries—cherry and raspberry—intertwined with classic notes of vanilla, cedar, and a hint of baking spice derived from its American oak maturation. The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced, offering a smooth texture and integrated tannins. Flavours echo the nose, with persistent red fruit complemented by a subtle savoury undertone and a clean, lingering finish.
