Remelluri Rioja Reserva

Vintage: 2015

$48.99

Remelluri Rioja Reserva is a distinguished wine from the renowned Remelluri estate, located in the Rioja region of Spain. This wine is crafted from a blend of traditional Rioja grape varietals, primarily Tempranillo, with smaller proportions of Garnacha and Graciano. The grapes are sourced from the estate's high-altitude vineyards, which benefit from a unique microclimate and diverse soil types. The winemaking process involves meticulous hand-harvesting, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels for approximately 17 months. This results in a wine with a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of ripe red and black fruits, subtle spice, and well-integrated oak. The wine's balanced acidity and refined tannins make it an excellent pairing with roasted meats, game dishes, and mature cheeses.

40% Tempranillo / 40% Garnacha / 15% Graciano / 5% other indigenous grapes The 2015 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from their estate vineyards. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrels of different origins and sizes for 27 to 29 months. The wine shows superb, an undated style of Gran Reserva, using grapes from the three different valleys they have in Remelluri to create their grand vin. It has a classical style, but the oak and the evolution is slower, and the texture shows more of the limestone from the soils. This probably has almost 20% Garnacha, which to Telmo was the grape that was always there in Remelluri, and the grapes were harvested very late. 4,800 bottles were filled in May 2018.
