Palacios Remondo La Montesa Rioja 2013
Rioja, SpainWinemaker Alvaro Palacios is on a rampage, redefining Spanish wine by maximizing Spain's rich selection of spare terroir, and cutting back on the use of oak. The 2013 is a good example of the kind of freshness Palacios brings to the bottle. It’s a more modern version of the ancient ways. Cedary red fruit flavours morph into a ripe, smoky, plummy red. The blend is 7/25/5 garnacha, tempranillo and mazuelo. A in year in French oak, 50 percent new, contribute to its texture but by dry-farming and dropping close to 40 percent of their fruit, the Palacios Remondo team ensures only the highest quality fruit was picked. In this case, harvest was between the 10th of October to the 1st of November. Lamb anyone?Tasted: 14 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
