La Granja Ntra. Sra. de Remelluri

The Reserva is dominated, as usual, by Tempranillo (85%) with Graciano, Garnacha and Mazuelo making up the balance. The wine has been aged for 18 months in predominantly American oak, its grapes having been farmed on the poor limestone terraces which overlook the village of Labastida, itself on the cusp between the Alta and the Alavesa sub-regions. The result is rich and savoury, with a dense colour and an attractive nose of soy, peat, morello cherry and ripe plum. The palate is both generous and harmonious, ripe and generous, meaty and dense.
