This is a well-weighted white Spanish wine, sourced from multiple small plots within Rioja Alavesa. Fresh scents of citrus zest, white flowers, and orange peel are present from the beginning. It is a blend of grapes, composed of 90% Viura, also known as Macabeo, and 10% white Garnacha.
Founded by husband and wife duo David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman, Bodegas Bhilar is located in the town of Elvillar, in Rioja Alavesa. This is one of the highest altitude terroirs in Rioja, defined by its poor soils and low density of vines, which forces the best grapes possible out of the land. Since 2014, David and Melanie have taken a strong traditional approach to winemaking, even using a horse and plough to farm the fields, rather than a tractor.
Prior to bottling, this wine was aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, adding an oaky backbone and a creamy texture, due to malolactic fermentation. Notes of butter, lemon and orange rind, acacia flower, and sharp minerality appear on the palate. It is impressively acidic, leading into a long finish. It is an ideal wine for pairing with white meat, creamy pasta dishes, or soft to medium cheeses.

Bodegas Bhilar Bhilar Rioja Blanco 2022
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
