A unique microclimate gives the wines of Remelluri their distinct personality and character. These are mountain wines that express themselves very differently than the typical Rioja wines of the plains below. The 2012 Remelluri Reserve blend consists primarily of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano varieties, fermented with natural yeasts, and aged in barrel for some 16 months before being bottled. There are aromas and flavors of plum, cherry, cigar box, and bountiful spices evocative of Tempranillo at its best. The palate is lush and round with abundant, dusty tannins.
