Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Reserva comes from a late growing season and was produced with local varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and others from their 86 hectares of vineyards at 590 to 805 meters in altitude on limestone, sandstone and marl soils, now certified organic. The grapes were picked late with good ripeness and health and fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and open-top oak vats, then the wine matured in oak containers of different sizes for 22 to 24 months. This is a very good classical wine, serious and balanced, with very fine tannins, a balanced mouthfeel and enough power and concentration to be able to show elegance and nuance. It's very tasty, almost salty. 301,779 bottle produced. It was bottled in May 2021.

Description
Remelluri Reserva is a red wine made in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja, specifically in the Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta sub-zones, from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grape varieties.
The vineyards used for this variety are spread over 148 plots, at an altitude of over 600 metres and an approximate age of 40 years, which means that they have reached sufficient maturity to offer high quality fruit, essential for making wines of great flavour and character.
Winemaking
First of all, both the harvesting process and the destemming are carried out manually, without the intervention of machines, which allows the best fruit to be selected. Once the grapes have been selected, the must is extracted and then undergoes a fermentation process with the region's own yeasts.
In this part of the process, the resulting wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks and open vats, and then aged for a period of twenty-one months.
Taste
On the nose, Remelluri Reserva evokes the aromas of black fruits, as well as herbal nuances. On the palate, its texture is silky, intense and with a long finish. Its ripe, fresh and structured flavour is ideal for all those who wish to enjoy a good red wine with great character.
A pioneering wine in its style
Remelluri Reserva has the merit of being one of the first wines from La Rioja to have been made according to the Medoc method, which allows the grape's properties to develop through rest and maturation, to mention just a few of its characteristics. Undoubtedly, it is the ideal choice for those who love structured and full-bodied red wines.
Moreover, due to its characteristics, it is ideal to accompany game, fatty cheeses and spicy stews, such as, for example, oxtail.
