Description
Since 2010, Telmo RodrÃguez has been fully responsible for making the wines on this family estate. The basis was already good, but the wines will now be among the world's best!
A pure Rioja. Full wine with red fruit and a long aftertaste with soft wood tones. Aged for 17 months in French (70%) and American (30%) oak. The Remelluri Reserva has a well-defined nose of blackberry leaves, mint, laurel and balsamic vinegar. The taste is medium-bodied with fine tannins, fresh acidity and a beautiful, smoky finish with a hint of black pepper. This is a "serious" Rioja.
ABOUT REMELLURI
With Remelluri, Telmo Rodriguez puts Rioja on the map as a producer of original terroir wines. Long before the Rodriguez family settled on Remelluri, wine was already being made on the estate. As far back as the 14th century, monks have been making wine here from grapes from the surrounding vineyards. In 1967, the house came into the hands of Jaime Rodriguez, the father of pioneer and idiosyncratic winemaker Telmo Rodriguez. Jaime immediately makes drastic changes. He decided to only make wine from grapes from his own vineyards, which was exceptional in the Rioja at that time. The aim is also to work the vineyards as naturally as possible, in order to preserve the special character of the vineyards as much as possible. In 2010, the vineyards were officially certified organic under the management of Telmo.
The vineyards are among the highest in the Rioja Alavesa. They are located on the slopes of the Sierra de Toloño mountains, south-oriented, sheltered from the cold north wind. The stony soil with layers of clay, the rainfall from the Atlantic coast and the lower temperatures than average in Rioja ensure good phenolic ripening of Tempranillo. Some of the vineyards are very old; The grape varieties are also traditionally planted together in various vineyards. Read more under the tab: Winery

The estate red 2016 Reserva comes from a late growing season and was produced with local varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and others from their 86 hectares of vineyards at 590 to 805 meters in altitude on limestone, sandstone and marl soils. The grapes were picked late with good ripeness and health and fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and open-top oak vats and then matured in oak containers of different sizes for 20 to 21 months. These are more classical wines, with a more evolved nose, with high ripeness and some balsamic and medicinal notes. It has a dusty palate with Nebbiolo-like tannins. 300,000 bottles and 8,200 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
I tasted Remelluri's wines as a tasting of Telmo RodrÃguez's full portfolio, and I'm including them here again for completeness and context.
There will be some changes in the Lindes lineup, for which they plan to even have a completely independent winery. The idea is to have up to six village wines from Lindes in 2021.

In the early 1990s, Telmo joined the company. The story goes that his father wants to keep the production of the red wines for himself, so Telmo comes up with the beautiful white Remelluri Blanco. After several years of making wine in other parts of Spain, Telmo returned to Remelluri in 2010, where he took up winemaking together with his sister Amaya. As a great advocate of terroir wines, he has a clear opinion about the wines of the Rioja. Because winemakers often buy most of the grapes from grape growers, they have lost the connection with the vineyards and the terroir, he believes. In addition, the low prices of the grapes have caused winegrowers to neglect or even grub up the more challenging vineyards, often the older, high-altitude plots. With the wines of Remelluri, Telmo wants to show that the Rioja has many different terroirs that can be beautifully expressed in the wines.
