Remelluri Reserva is the original wine from Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri, sourced from the most important vineyards consisting of 153 plots in 25 sites at the contiguous property. Only indigenous varieties are used, planted from 1918 until today, averaging 40 years old. The blend consists primarily of goblet-trained tempranillo, garnacha, and graciano varieties with an average yield of 29hl/ha. Only grapes from the estate are used for Remelluri Reserva. Certified organic farming (certified by ENEEK, the Basque Agricultural Regulatory Council) and made with low intervention, unfiltered, and minimal sulfur at bottling.

Vintage – 2015 was marked by excellent and even weather conditions that resulted in exceptional vintage quality. The large water reserve due to a cold, wet winter with abundant snow in February and March favored optimal vegetative development. After a mild spring, veraison arrived early due to a hot, dry summer with the rains in September, which led to early technical ripening. This situation forced a long and selective hand-harvest by individual plants and bunches in search of the optimum phenological ripeness. Bunches were hand-harvested from September 22 until October 25.

2015 was an atypical yet gratifying year with particularly good grape health, combining youthful fruit with complex aromatics and developed flavors, power with elegance. The wine comes through as clean and defined, with a medium to full-bodied palate, focused flavors, and a very long, dry, and lively finish. 2015 was an exceptional vintage at Remelluri that is certain to continue to evolve in bottle for decades to come.

Vinification – Bunches were hand-selected daily vine-by-vine between September 22 until October 25, placed in small boxes and taken directly to the winery. Whole clusters are destemmed and crushed, and the must is spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and old, open-top foudres. It is then aged 21 months in foudres and barrels of various sizes, followed by more than five years of bottle aging in the Remelluri cellar. Made with low intervention and bottled unfiltered May 2018.
