Viña Pomal Selección 500 Crianza 2020 75cl.
With Viña Pomal Selección 500 the winery wanted to pay tribute to the way wine was made more than 100 years ago: aging one of the varieties (garnacha) in 500-liter bocoyes, the large barrels in which the wine was stored and transported, just as it was done in the past. The result? A Rioja aging that pays tribute to the usual good work. Perfect to accompany tapas, pasta dishes, young cheeses, chicken, grilled vegetables and barbecues. Prizes and scores:

Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 90% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha Both varieties are made separately. They look for the structure of Tempranillo with a long maceration time, providing the volume and potential of the variety. In the case of Grenache, processing at lower temperatures enhances freshness, using part of the stem in fermentation to provide a certain length and balance. The breeding is also carried out separately. Tempranillo in 225 liter American oak barrels for a period of 15 months. Grenache, due to its delicacy and finesse, is aged in 500-liter French oak barrels where the ratio of wood to wine is lower and aging is slower. With these 500-liter bocoyes, previously used by the winery for aging and transporting wine, the aim is to return to the origins of Rioja and Bodegas Bilbaínas, where the wines were aged for long periods of time in these containers.
