Remirez de Ganuza Blanco Olagar Gran Reserva 2016 is one of the great aging whites from Rioja, coming from the Viña Olagar vineyard in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The vineyard, planted in 1978, is located at an altitude of 620 meters on calcareous soils that provide freshness and mineral personality to the wine. Made exclusively with Viura grapes, the process is extremely meticulous: manual harvesting is done in small boxes, with grapes cooled before selection. The free-run must ferments and ages for 10 to 11 months in new French oak barrels. This wine exhibits complex aromas of peach, grapefruit, and spices, with a creamy texture and great saline tension. Remirez de Ganuza Blanco Olagar is one of the most sophisticated expressions of modern Rioja white, with great potential for evolution.
