From the brilliant winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, this Remelluri Blanco is a blend of Chardonnay, Garnacha Blanca, Moscatell, Marsanne, Roussane, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier which has been raised on French oak for 14 months. This topper is seen by Parker as a reference for white Rioja's. White wine. Only a small number of bottles are made of the Remelluri and is spent per allocation.
The Remlluri is fermented on natural yeasts and aged for 14 months in French oak. Green tinted gold. Very expressive aromas of melon, ginger with a kiss of oak herbs. Offers an impressive density and richness, but also an energetic cracker with very complex aromas of mango, candied citrus fruits and exotic spices. Ends very long, spicy and supple. Glorious wine. Fantastic aftertaste. Can develop further at least until 2021 and can easily be stored until 2029+, which is unique for a white wine.
