First, he converted to organic farming and then began following tenants to recover the harmony between man, earth, vines, and cosmos. In 2014, tractors were eliminated and horses were brought back to farm the vineyards.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyards have dominated the landscape of Elvillar for hundreds of years due to its poor soil conditions. Consequently, this region is known for having some of the oldest vines in all of Rioja. Rocky, limestone soils meander through three valleys running from the Sierra Cantabria mountain to the River Ebro giving Elvillar a distinct and diverse viticultural landscape. High-altitude vineyards cling to the hills and valleys ultimately crawling up the side of the mountain toward the Sierra Cantabria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDSG stands for David Sampedro Gil, and is his most accessible and earnest line.  His tinto is fermented with native yeast and aged for 18 months in oak barrels.  The resulting wine has both buoyancy and backbone, an equal balance of fruit and tannin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Bhilar","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":41015587143843,"sku":"139471","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0499\/5527\/4915\/products\/image_ef6f385d-053d-4874-adb6-2a9fcec6f87a.jpg?v=1627144999","url":"https:\/\/shop.artemisia.farm\/products\/bodegas-bhilar-dsg-tinto-2018","provider":"Artemisia Farm \u0026 Vineyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
