Type: Red Wine (Organic / Biodynamic / Minimal Intervention / Village Rioja)
Region: Rioja Alavesa (DOCa Rioja), Spain
Grapes: 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 5% Viura
Alcohol ABV: 14.5%
Aroma:
An expressive and elegant Rioja with aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum, and wild berries. Floral notes of violet and dried flowers are layered with Mediterranean herbs, liquorice, tobacco, and subtle earthy tones. The combination of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Viura gives the wine both depth and freshness, with a lifted aromatic profile.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The palate shows flavours of black cherry, red plum, blackberry, and cranberry, balanced by savoury notes of herbs, spice, graphite, and gentle earthiness. The texture is refined, with integrated oak adding complexity without overpowering the fruit.
The grapes are sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards around Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, using gentle extraction to preserve freshness and the character of the vineyard. The wine is matured in a combination of concrete tanks and oak vessels, allowing the fruit, tannin, and mineral character to integrate naturally.
Bodegas Bhilar follows organic and biodynamic farming practices, focusing on biodiversity, healthy soils, and minimal intervention. The vineyards around Elvillar are planted on limestone-rich clay, sandy, and silty soils, with high-altitude conditions providing cool nights that preserve acidity and aromatic freshness. The estate also uses traditional methods such as horse ploughing to maintain a closer connection with the land.
