Granja Remelluri represents the essence of Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri, the first "Single Estate" model in Rioja, similar to the classic Medoc estates from Bordeaux.
Certified organic, the 2012 vintage is a blend of 68% Tempranillo, 22% Garnacha, 8% Graciano, 2% others; is aged for 28 months in barrels and foudres of different sizes.
Concentrated rains in November, April and October represented more than half of the year’s precipitation. A hot year in general, but thanks to the rains in October, it
offered fantastic ripeness and still healthy fruit. For sure one of the best vintages in recent years in Remelluri.
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano, the 2012 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva represents what they are aiming for with this wine, a classical expression of the place, the quintessence of the vineyards. They select their oldest vineyards and age the wine for a long time, coming back to those early years of a modern Rioja that has now turned into a classic. It has some dusty tannins, with good grip and length. It was bottled in 24,238 bottles after an élevage of 26 months. It has been in the bottle since May 2015.
