Remelluri 2016 Reserva Rioja
Remelluri 2016 Reserva Rioja
Remelluri Reserva 2016 is a distinguished expression of mountain viticulture from Rioja Alavesa, crafted exclusively from estate-grown grapes cultivated on the high-altitude slopes of the Sierra de Toloño. This blend, comprising 83% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, and 7% Graciano, originates from 153 meticulously farmed plots, with vines averaging 40 years in age, some dating back to 1918. The estate practices certified organic and biodynamic farming, integrating regenerative agriculture and agroforestry to foster biodiversity and harmony between the vineyard and its natural surroundings .
The 2016 vintage stands out for its balance and elegance, offering a classic style with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and moderate alcohol levels. Harvested by hand from mid-October to early November, the grapes underwent spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aged for 21 months in a combination of foudres and barrels of various sizes. Bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur, the wine then matured in bottle for five years before release. The result is a wine of remarkable depth and longevity, poised to evolve gracefully over decades .
