Description

Viña Pomal Gran Reserva is a serious and high quality wine that combines the best of La Rioja. It represents the great classic reserve of La Rioja, faithful to its origins for more than a century. It only occurs in exceptional vintages and with a limited quantity of bottles.

Tasting note

View: Garnet and cherry hues introduce this bright Great Reserve with light orange reflections on the rim. Nose: The unique vinification process of this Great Reserve provides a complex, elegant nose with notes of liquorice and redfruit, typical of the Tempranillo, along with hints of spices subtly added by the Graciano. During bottle ageing, all of this is assembled with toasty and balsamic aromas (vanilla, pepper, tobacco) contributed by the barrels. Palate: As the wine is aired in the glass, it discloses its full range of nuances and complex aromas. In the mouth, it reflects our surroundings, with a mild entry and a sense of elegance and balance, ending in long persistence, denoting the craft of barrel ageing and the assemblage provided by a long stay in the bottle.

Food pairing

A perfect pairing with vegetable and rice dishes as well as pulse stews. It also goes well with meat or vegetable rice dishes, moderately strong cheeses, duck and oily fish.

About the producer

The Viña Pomal estate covers 90 hectares of vineyards. They are located inside the municipality of Haro and less than 2 kilometres from the winery, in one of the town’s most beautiful enclaves, overlooking the Ebro river as it flows down stream through the Conchas de Haro pass. The estate features different ecosystems with different soils and varying degrees of exposure to the sun, which calls for the careful selection of homogenous zones. The estate’s viticulture combines traditional Rioja practices with precision winegrowing techniques, which result in state of the art environmentally friendly winegrowing, always with a view to obtaining premium quality.
