Producer Information

Co-founder Don Santiago de Ugarte conceived the name Viña Pomal. It was first used on a range of labels in 1904. For the UK market, they created the second label, the now-defunct "Castle Pomal". As the reputation for Pomal grew through the 20th century, so did the number of famous admirers. No less than Winston Churchill was reputed to be a fan. A case was even sent to him directly from the winery which was noted in the London press in 1952. In the current day, Viña Pomal is a modern, forward-thinking winery. Their house style is based on the traditional integration of oak with concentrated ripe fruit and smooth tannins. Their traditional range includes a Crianza made from 100% Tempranillo. It's matured in American barriques for 12 months to create a supple wine with black fruit flavours, liquorice notes and vanilla. You'll also find a Reserva and a Gran Reserva, which adds 10% of the historic Riojan grape variety Graciano to the blend. Along with extended bottle-ageing, this creates a complex wine with hints of coffee, leather and cigar-box.
