The pioneer in the field of innovation. Fernando was active as a vineyard broker in the region for many years. At the end of the 1980s he decided to keep these vineyards for himself with the ambition to make one of the best wines in Spain!!! He only works with old vines, the average age of which is 60 years. Only "los hombros" or the shoulders (the upper part of the bunch of grapes) are used for his wine, because these are the ripest grapes that have seen the most sun.

This Reserva is a wine with a lot of personality. Elegant, finesse wine with lots of complexity. Slightly evolved color. Tempranillo of the elegant type with bite, southern accent, meaty middle, potential, class, everything you look for in a large glass! Captivating fruit tannins, balanced barrel aging, length, noble finish. Fincas combines elegance, terroir and muscle in one bottle!

The Fincas de Ganuza Reserva is made from 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano. The harvest for this beautiful wine is also completely manual and all grapes are selected manually. The vineyards are on average 30-40 years old and like all Ganuzas, this wine has a beautiful drinking window and will improve over the years.

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.
