Creators' opinion
Viña Pomal Vinos Singulares Garnacha Blanca exhibe un bonito color amarillo pajizo pálido brillante, con reflejos verdes. Nariz nerviosa y rápida en expresión aromática que desvela aromas a flores blancas, manzana y frutas de hueso como el albaricoque. Elegante y fresca. En boca es un vino largo con una retronasal intensa. Al final aparecen recuerdos de frutos secos como almendras y avellanas. Vibrante, fresco y mineral.

Winemaker
Located in the famous wine region of the Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Bodegas Bilbaínas is one of the historic and benchmark wineries in Rioja. Its origins date back to 1859, when the Bordeaux house Savignon Frères et Cie, fleeing the phylloxera plague, settled in Haro to produce and export wine to France. In 1901, a group of entrepreneurs from Bilbao acquired the facilities, also building a new and monumental winery with underground cellars. Thus, the Bodegas Bilbaínas company was definitively established.
In a short time, its wines gained a strong reputation. So much so that in 1925, this house was honored with the title of Supplier to the Royal Household and Heritage. In 1997, the winery became part of the Grupo Codorníu, undergoing a profound renovation of its facilities and vineyards, as well as a modernization of its wine styles.
Today, Bodegas Bilbaínas boasts an exceptionally extensive estate-owned vineyard in La Rioja: 250 hectares spread across the Haro region, within the subzone of Rioja Alta; and it has enviably solid brands that encompass different styles: from the most classic Viña Pomal, to La Vicalanda (Alta Expresión) and the more modern and youthful Viña Zaco.
