Producer Information

Viña Pomal is one of the most exceptional and traditional wines in the country. A wine, faithful like few to the classic style of the authentic Rioja. The excellent characteristics of the vineyard, owned by the same winery, the painstaking selection of the grapes and the elaborate process of ageing in American oak bordelaise barrels give Viña Pomal that unique style that makes it an icon among Rioja wines. Since its first appearance, in 1908, Viña Pomal has been able to adapt to the new times without losing sight of the original characteristics that gave it its recognition and prestige.

Wine Making

Viña Pomal Blanco is made from the region’s traditional varietals: Viura and Malvasía. After destemming the skins are lightly macerated (6 hours) and then pressed. The free running must is fermented in new barrels of American oak and french oak (50/50) at a temperature of 15-18ºC and left 4 months in contact with the lees. Helped by gentle stirrings of the lees the wine gains incomplexity and volume on the palate.

Tasting Note

Rich, aromatic aromas, with white fruit, citrus and fennel notes, a light toastiness and a subtle, fresh and balanced mouthfeel.

Food Matching

In matches perfectly with fish and seafood dishes but also with mild dishes such as vegetables, purées and cheeses.
