Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Rioja
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Cellar for up to 25 years. Decant for an hour or more before serving. Phinca Lali is an intense single vineyard red wine, opening up with full-bodied notes of plum, cranberry, and cherry, with underlying notes of chalky minerality, dried herbs, and tobacco. It was sourced from a 0.54 hectare plot in Rioja, where the vines grow in clay and limestone soils. It is composed of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Viura. Bodegas Bhilar is located in the town of Elvillar, in Rioja Alavesa, one of the higher altitude terroirs within Spain’s premier region. It was founded by the husband and wife duo of David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman, who have transformed the winery into a traditional, minimal-intervention enterprise. Since 2014, they have stopped using tractors, instead opting to use a horse and plough. It is voluminous and intense on the palate, which is marked by strong flavours of iron, tobacco smoke, spice, and ripe dark fruits that continue throughout the long finish. It contains firm tannins and bright acidity, making it suitable for longer term cellaring. Phinca Lali was aged in oak barrels for 36 months. This wine would be a fantastic partner for lamb stew, chorizo sausage, or sharp hard cheese.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
