Description
The Gran Reserva spent 5 years in the barrel before being bottled. The Gran Reserva is produced from 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% of the skins and pulp of white grapes (Viura and Malvasia) from vineyards of an average of 60 years. The grapes are harvested by hand in 12-kilo boxes, which are cooled for 24 hours in cold stores at 4-6 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 most ripe grapes that have seen the most sun. The ripened 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 60 months. Purple almost black in color with a surreal bouquet of kinky spices, truffle, minerals, and black fruits (berry, blackberry) on the palate, it is a remarkably powerful yet oh-so-elegant and fresh. Mouth-filling, complex, and astonishingly rich. It will improve even further over the next 10-15 years and will remain at least great until 2040.
The Gran Reserva is iconic and is only made in the absolute peak years. The wine has become very famous because only six times Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the very highest score to a Spanish wine, as well as among the best wines in the world. Legendary wines, such as Château Lafite-Rothschild 1986, Penfolds Grange 2008, Harlan Estate Proprietary Red Wine 1994 or Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1985 have been awarded 100 points and during that period the Remírez de Ganuza Gran Reserva 2004 has also been awarded the maximum score of 100 points .

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2011 Remirez de Ganuza Gran Reserva is een indrukwekkende Spaanse wijn met rijke aroma’s van kinky kruiden, truffel, mineralen en zwart fruit zoals braam en bes. In de smaak is hij krachtig, elegant en verrassend fris, met een complexe en mondvullende structuur die nog jaren zal verbeteren. Deze wijn past perfect bij stevige gerechten zoals sappig rundvlees en wild, vooral wanneer deze langzaam gegaard worden of in rijke jus geserveerd, waardoor de diepte en verfijning van de wijn volledig tot hun recht komen. Een langzaam gegaard tournedos of een wildstoofje met paddestoelen en volle smaakcombinaties maken deze wijn tot een ware smaaksensatie. |

Issue 243 End of June 2019, The Wine Advocate
The red 2009 Gran Reserva has some traces of classical Rioja and "old wine" character, despite being surprisingly youthful for a wine that is already ten years old. The wine is quite dark and represents the style of warm and dry vintage quite faithfully. The wine is powerful but has very good harmony, and the tannins are fine, round and mostly resolved; there is very good balance and harmony. It finishes dry and clean, with a long lingering aftertaste.
Remírez de Ganuza remains one of the most reliable sources for modern, ripe, concentrated, powerful and generously oaked Riojas around. You don't see that many dark and opaque Riojas that often. If that's the style you're looking for, look no further...

Grandcruwijnen is the Dutch Importer of the wines of the Top Rioja House: Remirez de Ganuza and we are very proud of this because Remirez de Ganuza belongs to the absolute top of Spain and is also highly appreciated internationally. All their wines score well above the 90 Parker and Penin point mark with the absolute peak for the 2004 Gran Reserva which has received a whopping 100 points.
The owner of this absolute top domain is Fernando Remirez de Ganuza. Obsessed with quality with an ongoing commitment to excellence in his wine, Fernando is the absolute pioneer in Innovation. At Remirez de Ganuza, even the smallest detail in the entire production chain of the wines is looked at and they are constantly optimizing. Fernado's motto is that exceptional quality can only be achieved through strict selection. His knowledge and experience with La Rioja vineyards make him one of the most appreciated winemakers in the region. The vineyards are spread over the villages of Samaniego, Laguardia, Leza and Elciego which are located in the most beautiful part of the Rioja namely the Rioja Alavesa. The bottom of the vineyards have a limestone clay composition with abundance of gravel and small round stones. Remirez de Ganuza only works with very old vines with an average age of 60 years or older. About 90% of the vines are Tempranillo, the rest of the vineyards include Graciano, Viura and Malvasia. The vineyards are 'en gobelet' but with a support on wire so that there is a larger exposure to the sun and better photosynthesis. A unique system that Fernando developed himself.
At the Remirez de Ganuza winery, the grapes undergo a strict selection, which also shows how quality-conscious but also how innovative Fernando is making absolute top wine. All grapes are harvested by hand and the grapes are first "rested" in the cooling chamber for 24 hours. First is separation from the bottom and shoulders of each cluster. Only the “los hombros” or the shoulders (the top part of the bunch of grapes) are used for his Reserva wines (Fincas de Ganuza, Remirez de Ganuza reserva and gran reserva and Trasnocho) because these are the most ripe grapes with the most sun seen.
