Description
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.
FACT: Remírez de Ganuza Gran Reserva is not only one of the best wines in Spain, because Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has only awarded the highest score to a Spanish wine six times, but also one of the best wines in the world.

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.
