Palacios Remondo

“Propiedad” Rioja

$52

The estate’s flagship wine, Propiedad, is made from old-vine Garnacha that grows in stunning high-elevation vineyards resting  on the rocky hillsides of Rioja Oriental. Hand-picked, old-vine Garnacha clusters were selected, first in the field and again on a sorting table at the winery, before being de-stemmed and put separately into 5,000 liter oak tanks for an alcoholic and malolactic fermentation using native yeasts.  After a long maceration of 47 days, an initial blend was made and the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and foudres.  The wine was then left unfiltered before bottling.

Notes of meaty summer fruits. Strawberries, blackcurrants, nectarines and cherries.
