Description

An expressive nose of ripe red fruit, liquorice, vanilla and coconut. The palate is supple, with velvety tannins and acidity that balances the concentration of flavour. Fresh and approachable, with a persistent finish that shows the character of the Labastida vineyards.

Part of Remelluri's Lindes project, made by Telmo Rodríguez from growers' vineyards around the village of Labastida. The aim is to express the character of the village rather than a house style.

Great with lamb chops, grilled chorizo or roast vegetables.

Remelluri

Founded by monks in the 14th century, Remelluri has a long history of winemaking. The estate changed hands several times before being purchased by Jaime Rodriguez in 1967. In 2010, Jaime's children, Telmo and Amaia Rodríguez, took over, implementing changes to highlight the diversity of Remelluri’s terroirs and restore Rioja’s viticultural heritage. They reduced production by one-third, focusing solely on estate-grown grapes, transitioned Garnacha vines from trellises to bush-grown, and increased mixed field plantings. The estate, fully organic since 2010, emphasises minimal intervention, with native yeast fermentation, separate plot vinification, minimal new oak, and light filtration.

Rioja

Rioja, located in northern Spain, is one of the country’s most prestigious and renowned wine regions. The region benefits from a diverse climate with influences from both the Mediterranean and Atlantic, contributing to its varied wine styles.
Famous for its reds, primarily made from Tempranillo, which produce wines known for their depth, rich fruit flavours, and well-integrated oak characteristics, the region also produces notable blends incorporating Garnacha and Graciano. Rioja’s whites, including those from Viura and Malvasía, are celebrated for their freshness, aromatic complexity, and balanced acidity. Historically, Rioja has a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times. The region gained prominence in the 19th century with the influence of French winemaking techniques, and today it is recognised for its commitment to both traditional and modern practices. Rioja's classification system, including Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva, reflects its dedication to quality and aging potential, making it a benchmark for Spanish wine.
