Viña Pomal, Rioja Reserva

We have run out of stock for this item.

A gorgeous Rioja that sits in the traditional style, with full flavoured black fruits, svelte tannins and a balancing elegance that makes it very easy to get to know...

Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, this is a hands-on winery, with sustainable practices, hand-harvesting in their vineyards and an area of over 120 hectares. With winery roots back to 1904, they have significant expertise and now have vines up to fifty years old, forming the backbone of their excellent wines.

The winery is now part of the Bodegas Bilbainas who operate 15 wineries altogether. This group in turn is owned by the Raventos family who have it under the Cordoniù Cava house... complex, but it works in order to make sure that these specialist, niche wineries don't get overlooked and that their significant contributions to Spain's rich history is preserved and that their future potential is nurtured. Which is genuinely a good thing.

This is a gorgeous wine - if you had to place it, it lies between the rich power of Ramon Bilbao and the elegant restraint of Viña Real - that's in terms of wine that you can get here.. it's very good indeed.

Aged in the winery, in Haro in the Rioja Alta subzone, it spends 18 months in American oak barrels.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
