2022 Remelluri Blanco Magnum

The Remelluri Blanco magnums are always released (much) later by Telmo Rodriguez because Telmo believes his wines are drunk too young; so with our allocation of the 2023 vintage in 0.75-liter bottles, we were also allocated some magnums, including those of the 2022. The magnums have been allowed to age quietly in the Remelluri cellar, and this 1.5-liter magnum is packaged in a beautiful wooden box (OWC/1).

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 top 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. The Remelluri Blanco 2022, bottled in June 2024 (and not released until spring 2025), is a characterful and expressive white wine from high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, between 605 and 805 meters above sea level. This altitude lends the wine a unique freshness and tension, despite the exceptionally dry and warm vintage. The wine is a blend of various white grape varieties that are vinified partly separately and subsequently aged for one year in a mix of used barriques, large foudres, and concrete eggs. This results in a complex texture and a wine with depth and nuance. In the glass, the wine reveals itself as aromatic and lively. The aroma opens with floral notes of acacia blossom, followed by ripe white fruit and subtle spiciness of white pepper. The taste is creamy and juicy, with a round, lush structure that contrasts with the beautiful acidity (5.68 g/l) and a pH of 3.24. The balance remains perfectly preserved thanks to the natural freshness and tension in the wine. It is a wine with power, finesse, and a future – a high-level white Rioja with limited availability (11,430 bottles produced). This wine clearly demonstrates what the Remelluri terroir can yield in the hands of experienced winemakers: a white wine with depth, energy, and aging potential. Perfect with dishes featuring creamy or spicy accents, and suitable for developing in the bottle for many years to come.
