Bodegas Bhilar is a biodynamic boutique winery located in Elvillar, Rioja Alavesa, run by the husband-and-wife team of David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman. Winemaker and viticultor David Sampedro Gil started his career working in some of the larger wineries in Rioja but soon returned home to work the vineyards where he grew up. In 2012 he started his "garagiste" winery close to his vineyards in Elvillar and named it after his village (Bhilar is Elvillar in the Basque language). He works only with indigenous grapes and his focus is on making terroir-driven wines. His Rioja Tinto is a blend of Garnacha, Viura, and Tempranillo, fermented in concrete and aged 18 months in large-format oak barrels; it is a juicy red with aromas of red fruits and fresh herbs, well structured, with fine tannins and a refreshing acidity.
