Persoonlijke gegevens
From the brilliant winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, this Remelluri Blanco is a blend of Chardonnay, Garnacha Blanca, Moscatell, Marsanne, Roussane, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier, aged for 14 months in French oak. Parker considers this outstanding wine a benchmark for white Riojas. A white wine for aging. Only a small quantity of Remelluri bottles is ever produced, and it is released by allocation.
Telmo believes that Remelluri Blanco is often drunk too young and always sets aside a portion of his wines to age quietly in the Remelluri cellars. With our allocation of the 2023 vintage bottle, we were also allocated some bottles from the 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022 vintages.
The 2021 Blanco is one of the best white wines from Remelluri. It is a powerful, characterful, and elegant wine, with ripeness and concentration combined with very good freshness. This unusual white wine was produced using a blend of grapes, attempting to blur the varietal profile; it fermented with indigenous yeasts in tanks and small oak barrels and aged in used barriques, foudres, and concrete. The wine has Mediterranean notes of hay and straw, yet is powerful and serious, more like an austere Hermitage with a super-chalky palate and a very tasty, almost salty finish. It possesses great finesse, with power and the freshness of the high-altitude vineyards and the cool year. Only 12,930 bottles were produced for this 2021 vintage.
FUN FACT: The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you come to pick up the wine, you often receive a nice discount .

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2018 Remelluri Blanco toont rijpe, geconcentreerde tonen van hooi, rijp geel fruit en mediterrane kruiden, ondersteund door subtiel Frans eikenresultaat en een krijtachtige, bijna zilte afdronk die voor veel finesse zorgt. Dankzij de frisse zuurgraad en het vlezige mondgevoel combineert hij uitstekend met schelpdieren en schaaldieren, frisse salades en verfijnde terrasgerechten omdat hij zowel de ziltigheid van zeevruchten als de lichte bitterheid van groene sla aankan zonder te overheersen. Extra goed werken bereidingswijzen als gegrilde coquilles of garnalen met citroenboter, ceviche met frisse kruiden of een licht geroosterde witte vis met een kruidenkorst en beurre blanc, die de mineraliteit en de elegante houtinvloeden van de wijn versterken. |

The 2021 Blanco is a blend of varieties and places and is the first wine that expresses the special character of the Remelluri property. They used different vinification methods (concrete, foudre, barrique, all with indigenous yeasts), and the backbone here is the origin and not the process. It's not a shy white, showing power (14.14% alcohol) and the freshness of the altitude (605 to 805 meters above sea level) with a low pH (3.24). It comes from vines planted between 1989 and 2012 and is worked organically and biodynamically, with cover crops and horses. It has ripeness, notes of pollen and yellow fruit and a touch of smoke and spice, with a very balanced palate and great purity. It follows the path of elegance and freshness of the 2020, but it was a cooler and healthier vintage (in 2020, they had hail twice), and the wine shows more precision and finishes very clean. Pablo Eguzkiza compared it to 2016. 12,930 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.
There have been gradual changes in the wines from Remelluri since Telmo and Pablo Eguzkiza returned there in 2010. The new wines come from the 2020 harvest when they reduced quantities tremendously. They probably did less than 200,000 kilos of grapes in 2020; they had done up to 400,000 kilos in the past. There are only two reds and one white, plus the Yjar sold through the Bordeaux négociant system that I tasted in late January 2024. These are completely different from the wines produced in the past, and they don't have anything in common with the Lindes project. The two new reds, a first and a second wine are still unnamed, and the release date has not yet been decided.

Such a precise, flinty nose with seashell, oyster, white sesame, chalk and lime. Textured, broad and long, with bright acidity and a precise, extremely long finish. Serious and gastronomic. A blend of 9 grapes. Drink or hold.

With Remelluri, Telmo Rodriguez is putting the 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 early as the 14th century, the monks here made wine 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 radical changes. For example, he decided to only make wine from grapes from his own vineyards, which was exceptional in the Rioja at the time. We also strive to cultivate 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 leadership of Telmo.
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.
