Rioja DOCa Viñedos de Rivas de Tereso Lindes 2020 Remelluri

The Lindes de Remelluri line stems from Telmo Rodríguez's intuition to explore and appreciate the villages bordering the historic Remelluri estate, in Rioja Alavesa. Each wine in the range represents a single village, highlighting its geological and climatic specificities. Viñedos de Rivas de Tereso is a red wine from the six labels of this territorial collection, mainly made from Tempranillo grapes, accompanied by small amounts of Garnacha and other native varieties, sourced from vineyards situated at 634 to 702 meters of altitude, on clay-limestone soils with abundant stoniness, giving the wine a unique and distinctive profile.

The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and 12 months of aging in French oak barrels of various sizes and ages. This process enhances the varietal purity and terroir expression, maintaining a balance between structure and freshness.

On the nose, aromas of cherries and blueberries are perceived, accompanied by floral, herbaceous, and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and flavorful, with fine-grained and expressive tannins, and a long persistence that reflects its complexity and depth.

Ideal to pair with artisanal cured meats or aged cheeses.
