    Winery Overview

    Bodegas Bhilar is a boutique winery located in Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa, run by husband and wife team, David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman. Their goal is to make terroir-driven wines with soul, respect the land, work only with indigenous grapes, and to share their unique wines with good people with positive energy. In the year 1999, David started learning about the biodynamic philosophy and changed how he cared for his vineyards. First, he converted to organic farming and then began following tenants to recover the harmony between man, earth, vines, and cosmos. In 2014, tractors were eliminated and horses were brought back to farm the vineyards.

    Vineyard

    A village wine from Elvillar de Álava. The grapes are sourced from young, Biodynamically farmed vines with an average of 30 years of age. The vineyards are dry-farmed bush vines in calcareous clay soils.

    Vinification

    85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 5% Viura. The grapes are harvested manually and immediately transported to the winery where the grapes are destemmed and placed in concrete tanks. Spontaneous fermentation starts with native yeast and without temperature control allowing the process to occur naturally.

    Aging

    Once finished, the wine is pressed and placed into French oak of different capacities where it aged for 12 months.

    Tasting Notes

    The oak is very integrated and neatly folded into the fruit. A nicely balanced wine which is very fruit driven with chalky fine-grained tannins. The palate is medium to full-bodied with notes of ripe berries and herbs with a spicy twist.
