REMELLURI ROBERT OCH ROWI

"Remelluri’s white wine is perennially a candidate for Rioja’s finest; the 2007 Blanco being a case in point. Made from a blend of 7 grapes (Viognier, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Marsanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Garnacha Blanca, and Moscatel del Pais) with all but the Moscatel and Garnacha Blanca components receiving barrel fermentation and 12 months in oak, it is a unique concoction well worth trying. Light gold colored with an alluring bouquet of pit fruits, tropical aromas, baking spices, honeysuckle and acacia, on the palate it is equally complex. The wine is dry, the flavors savory, and the acid structure making the wine quite vibrant. This lengthy effort will pair well with the richest of fish courses."Wine Advocate 92 points
