2012 | Remírez de Ganuza | Gran Reserva

While displaying a youthful character, it will benefit from additional aging in the bottle to harmonize the fruit with the still-present tannins. The finish is remarkably persistent.

Producer Information

Remírez de Ganuza is a Spanish wine producer, located in the Rioja sub region approximately 12 miles (20 kilometers) northeast of Logroño. It is particularly known for its flagship Reserva and Gran Reserva wines of the same name. The estate was founded by former wine-broker Fernándo Remírez de Ganuza in 1989, when he acquired top-quality plots in Rioja Alavesa. Today, vineyard holdings of the company covers six different locations and total more than 80 hectares (200 acres), a majority of which is planted to Tempranillo, Viura and Malvasia. The Remírez de Ganuza is the flagship wine of the portfolio, produced from Tempranillo and complimented with Graciano, Viura and Malvasia. Grape bunches are sorted and seperated into shoulder and tips prior to fermentation which is an incredibly labour intensive process. It is fermented in both stainless steel and French oak vats prior to 26 months of barrel-aging. The Wine Advocate has previously awarded the Remírez de Ganuza 100-points which is the highest possible rating. A selection of other red Reserva wines are included in the portfolio, also principally produced from Tempranillo. The Remírez de Ganuza Blanco is the white selection, a blend of Viura and Malvasia that is barrel-fermented in French oak of which where it remains for 8 months of aging. The complexity of this wine is attributed to the batonnage it receives in the cellar throughout the aging process.
