The Remelluri Reserva Magnum 2005 represents one of the pinnacles in the history of DOCa Rioja, reaching its fullness in Magnum format. Produced at the legendary Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri under the vision of renowned winemaker Telmo Rodríguez, this red wine is a true testament to the exceptional terroir of Labastida, in Rioja Alavesa. The vineyards, cultivated under ecological and biodynamic principles at the foot of the Sierra de Toloño, take advantage of a unique microclimate that shields the vines from the cold northern winds, allowing for a slow and perfect ripening of the Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano grapes. The evolution of the wine in Magnum format slows down, favoring a more gradual micro-oxygenation, thus preserving freshness and multiplying aromatic complexity. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and ages for over 20 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by an extended rest in bottle in the cellars of the winery. Upon uncorking this Remelluri Reserva Magnum, it presents itself as a cherry red wine with brick-red edges that denote its noble aging. On the nose, it unfolds a fascinating array of ripe black fruits, plums, balsamic notes, pipe tobacco, fine leather, and subtle mineral and truffle hints. On the palate, it is characterized by elegance and structure, with acidity suggesting great aging potential. Its long and persistent finish leaves memories of sweet spices and underbrush, making it an essential enological gem for collectors and high gastronomy lovers. To fully enjoy this wine, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C and decant it 45 to 60 minutes before serving.
