Remelluri Estate - Reserva Rioja Mixed 6 pack 2006 to 2011

Acquired by Jamie Rodriguez Salis in 1966, Remelluri Estate was established as Rioja’s first estate wines with the release of their first vintage in 1971. In the late ‘80s the estate’s reputation rose to prominence under the eye of Jamie's son, Telmo Rodgiguez, who took over direction of the estate alongside his sister, Amaia, after their father's retirement in 2010. Under the new generation the estate's practices are growing and evolving under organic and biodynamic viticulture practices.

"Today’s Remelluri Reservas are consistent with those of the past: refined, elegant, and not much marked by racking - all oak influence is clean and meaningful. However, since Telmo’s return it’s a noticeably brighter, marginally richer, fabulously brambly red berry wine with wonderful florals. Tempranillo predominantly, with a little Graciano and Garnacha, plus field blend Viura and ‘Malvasia’. Fermentation is in large conical oak vats, with pigeage. Malo is mainly in vats, with a portion in barrique. New oak ageing is reserved for the most structured fruit; most gains secondary character from ‘oxidative’ ageing in older wood. After about 17 months ageing, it’s bottled unfiltered." - The Spanish Aquisition
