REMELLURI RIOJA RESERVA 2017
€44.90
70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Graciano, Mazuelo, and Viura
Crafted by the iconic winemaker Telmo Rodríguez, Remelluri is highly revered as the first single-estate property of modern Rioja. Sourced entirely from historic, high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Sierra de Toloño mountains, this 2017 Reserva was aged for 21 months in French oak barrels. It effortlessly trades jammy, over-oaked commercialism for incredible classical structure and mountain-fresh elegance.
It pours a deep black-cherry colour with a vibrant garnet rim. The complex nose opens with an earthy, profound bouquet of wild blackberries, dried plums, and dark cherries, intricately layered with complex notes of fine leather, cedarwood, pipe tobacco, and crushed limestone. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, muscular, and beautifully velvety. Deep dark forest fruits match perfectly with tight, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing vein of high-altitude acidity, leading into an exceptionally long, savory finish highlighted by sweet baking spices and a distinct stony minerality.
