Product Information
La Granja' is an exceptional wine that shines both in its youth and with age. Produced from Remelluri's finest grapes, this blend brings together the classic Rioja focused Tempranillo blend. The extensive aging in both barrel and bottle results in a wine with beautifully structured, silky tannins that harmonize with lush fruit and savory spice. Whether you're enjoying it now or laying it down for a special occasion, 'La Granja' has exceptional promise.
95 points - Wine Advocate "I was really blown away by the 2010 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva, their take on more classical Rioja; IT is aged in oak for a longer time, but not without having selected grapes from their very best plots that would benefit from the extended levage. The varietal composition is approximately 75% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% Graciano. Like all of the wines here, it fermented in small stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts, and then matured in oak barrels for some 26 months. The nose is full of flowers, blood orange, sweet spices, violet pastille and curry. It's very aromatic and perfumed, with the herbs that you find in the Remelluri mountains, rosemary especially. It is extremely attractive, with a nose that makes you go back to it over and over again. This is still very young, but terribly balanced. The tannins are refined and there is a fine thread of acidity going through its core and lifting it up. This could very well be the best vintage of Granja so far. And having seen the improvements in the vineyards, my feeling is that the best is yet to come. Around 20,000 bottles produced."
