Story
Pursuing a dream
Pompaelo Wines was born to realize a long-awaited dream:to create honest wines with distinctive personality respecting the expression of the land and at the same time to please the most discriminating palate.
This is how a group of friends passionate about wine and with a long experience in various fields of the industry, decided to join forces and begin this adventure with excitement, enthusiasm and passion.
Our Philosophy is based in a strict market oriented policy and the permanent innovation in the quality, style and image, due to the constant feedback provided by our customers.
"Our mission is to convey our passion and enthusiasm for wine in a personal way, trying to achieve high quality standards with our exclusive brand: Pompaelo, representing the history, know how, and superb natural conditions of Navarra region in northern Spain."
The Brand
By the year 75 b.C “civitas pompelonensis”, Pompaelo city was born, acquiring its name from its founder, the Roman General Pompeyo. Nowadays, Pamplona city capital of Navarra region in northern Spain.
The Romans were the ones who organized and developed viticulture in Navarra. They also improved the local agriculture by replacing the rudimentary tools for new devices and production systems.
As they were great wine lovers, the Romans encourage the local production of each of the places they conquered and made wine be the base of their parties and rituals, a symbol of comfort.
"Pompaelo is a tribute to Navarra region and its people, their tradition, culture and their superb quality wines achieved by the people’s effort over generations."
The Style
Our job consists in creating a unique style of wine. We start at the vineyards, selecting the best grapes grown by local producers which are followed through the harvesting and vinification processes after which the wines from each variety are obtained.
It is here where our greatest contribution takes place: the blending process. This process consists in combining the wines from a group of varieties in order to give life to a unique and new wine.
Having decided on the "Coupage" and achieved concrete blend, each wine is prepared either for aging in the case of our red wines or directly proceed to bottling in the case of our white and rosé wines.
