Grape

Tempranillo

Origin
The grapes for this wine come from Viña Pomal's own vineyards which surround the winery. The first Viña Pomal release was over 100 years ago in 1904, and they have since been producing high quality, classic 100% Tempranillo Riojas.
Taste
Bursting with red fruit characters of blackberry and raspberries the palate is clean, intense and persistent. Perfectly balanced with soft velvety tannins it is delicious from start to the long finish.
Enjoy
This traditional style of Rioja will be a superb complement to Catalan-style charcuterie or cured meats.

    Smooth and robust at the same time

    Very impressive bottle at a great price for the quality of wine. Quite pleased to have found this gem in the haystack of Riojas on the market

    Rioja Reserva 2005 Vina Pomal

    An absolute "Cracker" of a Rioja Reserva, which has been summarised perfectly, in its description. I highly recommend this excellently rich tasting wine, which is remarkably well priced, take advantage...

    One of best Riojas I've ever tasted!!

    What a fantastic Reserva Rioja, certainly one of the best Riojas I have ever tasted and now a firm favourite of mine and my wife's! Just outstanding value for money. Will be returning at the weekend for another few cases!

    Likeable Rioja but watch the alcohol level!

    This is a good example of a better than average Rioja, but the trendy 14% alcohol is a bit of a headache inducing hit. Enjoy sensibly as they say.

Press Reviews

  • "Full of soft, ripe, black fruits with supple velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish, this is almost too good to drink alongside the Barbie, but it is certainly cheap enough."
