"Telmo Rodríguez of Remelluri is a bit of a genius ..."
Jancis Robinson MW
"Remelluri was founded in the Sierra de Toloño mountains by Hieronymite monks in the 14th Century. The vines changed hands a number of times over the years before being purchased by Jaime Rodríguez Salís in 1967. In 2010, Jaime’s son and daughter, Telmo and Amaia Rodríguez, took the reins of the estate and set about making a series of changes to showcase the potential and diversity of Remelluri’s different terroirs, and ultimately reclaim Rioja’s viticultural history. The first major change was to cut down the production of Remelluri wines by one-third, restricting it to wines produced from the estate’s own grapes. Work in the winery plays a secondary role in Telmo’s philosophy, but great care is taken to make sure that each bottle reflects the terruño of the region. The Gran Reserva is truly a special wine with terrific ageing potential, yet still approachable in its youth. Following Spain’s tradition of holding onto the bottles before release, it spends a minimum of 6 years in the cellar.”

REMELLURI →
"Remelluri became the first single-vineyard Rioja of the modern era with its release of the 1971 vintage, standing out from a conservative wine culture based on house style and blends of purchased wines from throughout Rioja .... Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri Gran Reserva is made in small quantities from the oldest, most important vineyards at the estate and represents the essence of the property. Granja is a high-altitude Rioja sourced from a selection of the vineyards that surround the winery and above into the mountain, with a higher proportion of old garnacha vines planted from 680 to 780m. Granja Remelluri delivers on the incredible, historic expectations while setting a new standard for ultra-elegant, terroir-driven Rioja from a single estate. It is built to improve in the cellar for decades."

RIOJA GRAN RESERVA LA GRANJA NUESTRA SEÑORA DE REMELLURI 2014
"This still-youthful top wine from Remelluri's oldest vines has the quintessential Telmo Rodriguez-era combination of freshness, silkiness of tannin and aromatic detail, with purring power and wonderful concentration of blackcurrant fruit. One to hang on to for as long as possible."

David Williams, Decanter Magazine
"Elegant bouquet with beautiful, clear fruit. Notes of blackberry, plum, and black cherry. Hints of orange zest, Christmas spices, and smoky nuances. Powerful yet elegant on the palate, with juicy acidity and plenty of dark fruit. Fine-grained tannins and a long finish."

Falstaff Magazin
"A considerable step up on the 2013 release, this is a pale, refined, elegant Gran Reserva made from Tempranillo with 30% Garnacha and Graciano grown on poor limestone soils up to 780 metres. Floral, savoury and sweet, with fine tannins, some wild mountain herbs and bright acidity. Not a blockbuster, this is all about finesse and balance."
