Press Review

It's remarkable that José Gil released his first wines as recently as 2016 and here he is, less than a decade later, making one of Rioja's best reds.

- Tim Atkin

Overview

El Bardallo comes from a 40-year-old vineyard of Tempranillo (with a tiny percentage of Viura) planted on a chalky clay-limestone and sandstone soil. This site faces northeast resulting in an elegant and refined style of Rioja.
