Creators' opinion
In appearance, Viña Pomal Graciano displays an intense and very bright red color, with violet reflections. On the nose, typical varietal aromas of white pepper, sandalwood, and cedar appear, intermingled with aromas of ripe red fruit and flowers like lavender. It enjoys great volume and freshness on the palate, with velvety tannins. A gentle and silky passage that culminates in an enveloping and fatty finish. Given its characteristics and great aging potential, it will gain expressiveness over the next 10 years.

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.
