This is the top wine of Remirez de Ganuza de Gran Reserva. Only the best grapes from their oldest vineyards are used for this wine. A particularly intense and complex wine that can provide pleasure for decades. The Gran Reserva is produced from 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano from vineyards with an average age of 60 years. The grapes are harvested by hand in 12-kilo boxes, which are cooled for 24 hours in cold rooms to 4-6 º C, after which only "los hombros" or the shoulders (the upper part of the grape bunch) are used for its wine , because these are the ripest grapes that have seen the most sun. The harvested grapes are then fermented in French oak barrels after which the wine is transferred to new oak barrels (80% French and 20% American) for malolactic and aging for 38 months with subsequent bottle aging. Purple almost black in color with a surreal bouquet of kinky herbs, truffle, minerals, and black fruits (berry, blackberry) on the palate it is strikingly powerful, but oh so elegant and fresh. Mouthfilling, complex, and stunningly rich. It will continue to improve over the next 10 years and will remain great until at least 2040+. Packaged in a beautiful wooden (OWC) box. This Gran Reserva is only made in the best years.
