Bodegas Bohedal Rioja Reserva is made from 100% Tempranillo and aged for 18 months in a mixture of French and American oak before spending 2 years ageing in bottle before release. It is a powerful yet soft wine with dark plum, cassis fruit, tobacco, liquorice and savoury notes. The integration of oak and fruit is in perfect harmony and leads to a textured wine with a soft, velvet like finish which is packed with creamy fruit and sweet spice.
Bodegas Bohedal is a small family winery based in Cuzcurrita del Río Tirón, 10 km from Haro, in the heart of La Rioja Alta. The first vines were planted by great grandad Pepe in 1917 and today his great grandchildren, Leire and Elisa, aided by their father run this superb operation. There is no delusion of grandeur at Bohedal despite the wines receiving fantastic reviews and awards. This is a family operation and there is a belief that their wines are meant to be drunk, enjoyed and loved at any time.
On top of the traditional styles of Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva they also produce a superb white which is aged in a mixture of French, American and Romanian oak. It is a magical wine in a quite unique style. To embrace modern times, they have also started bottling Graciano, Tempranillo and Garnacha from their top vineyards into single vineyard wines which express the grape varieties superbly.
