Viña Pomal '106 Barricas' Rioja Reserva 2019/20, Rioja

This limited edition of 106 Barricas Pomal Viña is a tribute to the birth of Viña Pomal in 1908. Viña Pomal began in Haro, Rioja, in 1904. In its rich history, it's built a long list of admirers, and it was reportedly the choice bodega of Winston Churchill. Today, it continues with its innovative ways, and this Reserva wows the critics seemingly with every vintage. Combining traditional practices with modern advances in viticulture, the winery specialises in Tempranillo, but also Garnacha and Graciano as we see in this blend. The combination of both Atlantic and Mediterranean climates around Haro, where the vineyards are based, aids the grapes in developing strong, expressive aromas. How does it taste? This Reserva is intense with flavours of dark fruit and a kiss of toasty oak. Try it with red meat and char-grilled vegetables.
