Description
Bodegas Bhilar, S.L.
Rioja-born David Sanpedro Gil (DSG) produces wines in appellations other than his place of birth. He visited Navarra in 2006, and was taken by the potential of the old-vine Garnacha. Asking around, he bumped into Gonzalo Calayeta who had been his roommate while studying oenology at Rioja University.

A new line, the red 2012 Bilhar Plots from a dry and warm vintage, is sourced from a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha from Elvillar, a village wine with shorter aging and priced below Phincas.
