Bhilar Rioja Blanco 2020
Rioja, SpainBodegas Bhilar is a certified organic/biodynamic boutique winery in Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa, run by husband and wife team David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman. This blends 80% viura and 20% garnacha, native fermented in concrete before resting in French casks for 6 months. Pouring a golden yellow hue, this fuller white streams along a waxen palate of goldenrod, ripe melon, ripe pear, quince, and tangerine zest, seasoned with saffron and musk and light toast. A compact white, ready for unpacking with richer creamy white risotto or braised poultry.Tasted: 10 March 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
