Viña Pomal is a centenary label, a flagship of classic Rioja worldwide, whose first vintage was crafted in 1904. This year, to celebrate its 120th anniversary, the winery has updated the brand's image with a more contemporary aesthetic and more nods to its origins, as we can see in this Viña Pomal Rosado 2025. A wine awarded the Silver Medal at the international competition The Global Rose Masters. Essential and captivating.
Viña Pomal is among that handful of historic brands that have elevated Rioja to greatness. A centenary label that has adapted to modern times and remains at the top. Since the past decade, it is also produced in a rosé version. Here is the new vintage: Viña Pomal Rosado 2025, crafted with garnacha tinta (70%) and viura blanca (30%), traditional grapes of Rioja rosés.
Viña Pomal Rosado is made by the “saignée” method. After destemming and crushing, the grapes were placed in a tank where they underwent a cold maceration for 12 hours until the must achieved the desired color. The free-run juice (obtained by gravity, without mechanical pressure) was then separated from the skins, a process known as "saignée." Subsequently, the must was fermented at a low temperature of 14º C to preserve the fresh and varietal aromas.
The grapes used come from vineyards located in Rioja Alta, an area influenced by the Atlantic climate where these varieties achieve optimal acidity for crafting expressive and fresh rosés.
Situated in the famous Barrio de la Estación in Haro, Bodegas Bilbaínas has represented Rioja classicism since 1901. It owns the largest vineyard in Haro (250 hectares), the most important area of Rioja Alta. Additionally, it is one of the only “châteaux” in La Rioja with more than 130 hectares of vineyards surrounding the winery. Viña Pomal is its flagship brand. It also produces La Vicalanda and Viña Zaco. Three labels present in more than 20 countries and that each year garner dozens of accolades.
Viña Pomal Rosado 2025 is ideal to pair with smoked salmon or tapas such as jamón ibérico, chorizo, and cheese.

Viña Pomal Rosado displays a bright pale pink hue. Subtle on the nose, with hints of strawberry, raspberry, violet flowers, and spices (anise, chamomile). On the palate, it has a structured and creamy entry that provides length. Its acidity makes it fresh and balances the structure on the palate.
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.
