2015 Granja Remelluri Rioja Gran Reserva

2015 Granja Remelluri Rioja Gran Reserva...$119.99 / 750ml
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.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
