Gefermenteerd op natuurlijke gisten en 14 maanden gerijpt in Frans eiken Glorieuze wijn. Tropisch fruit, jasmijn, popcorn, mineralen en een vleugje kruiden. Fantastische afdronk. Kan zich tenminste tot 2027 nog verder ontwikkelen.
The Wine Advocate:
''Remelluri's white was a groundbreaking wine in Rioja as it marked a clear departure form the traditional whites from the region when first produced in the early 1990s. The 2012 Blanco is a blend of nine different grape varieties, some traditional in Rioja, some not, where the idea is to erase the character of the grapes and transmit the character of the place. The wine fermented in stainless steel and oak then matured in barriques for 18 months. On opening it is quite oaky in a Burgundian way, but it soon reveals aromas of yellow fruit, pollen beeswax and chamomile that are elegant and show incipient complexity. Each year they fine-tune the white (mostly the work in the vineyard) so the improvements are noticeable. The palate is round and tasty, with great acidity and a sappy feeling that is mineral, almost salty, combining creaminess with austerity. This is a white for the long haul, as it will gain in complexity with time in bottle and should have a long life ahead'.
