Phinca La Revilla 2011

Tasting: David Sampredo-Gil’s Bodegas Bhilar has slowly become one of the most respected small wineries in Rioja. His vineyards are bursting with life due to the biodiversity he encourages using organic and biodynamic farming. Based in the subregion of Alavesa around the town of Elvillar (Bhilar is the Basque word for Elvillar), he makes an array of exceptional wine that stuns his fans year after year. Phinca La Revilla is made from 100% Viura, and is aged in barrel for and incredible 6 years before bottling and release. Dense, aromatic, and incredibly complex, notes of vermouth, cereals, royal jelly, quince, dried flowers and chamomile. A wine with no equal.
