Granja Nuestra Senora de Remelluri 'Remelluri' Reserva 2016

Critical Acclaim: 93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Tasting Notes: "The estate red 2016 Reserva comes from a late growing season and was produced with local varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and others from their 86 hectares of vineyards at 590 to 805 meters in altitude on limestone, sandstone and marl soils. The grapes were picked late with good ripeness and health and fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and open-top oak vats and then matured in oak containers of different sizes for 20 to 21 months. These are more classical wines, with a more evolved nose, with high ripeness and some balsamic and medicinal notes. It has a dusty palate with Nebbiolo-like tannins.'- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

About the Wine: Remelluri is one of the world's most timeless and iconic wine producing landscapes. Wine has been made here since the 14th century with the founding of a monastery and farm in the foothills of the Sierra de Tolono. The modern winery began in 1967, famous for producing the first Rioja wine from a single vineyard. Reserva is the flagship red wine made from naturally farmed, estate-grown grapes cultivated with regenerative agricultural principles and low intervention. Remelluri is high-altitude mountain wine built to age gracefully and improve for decades to come.

Varietal: 83% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha and 7% Graciano.
