Granja Nuestra Senöra de Remelluri, Rioja Yjar 2020

Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri Rioja Yjar 2020 is a refined, single-estate expression of Rioja Alavesa, combining the region’s classic freshness with remarkable depth and poise. Named for the Yjar vineyard, this limited-production wine is distinguished by its floral character, silky texture and extended maturation in oak, offering a more nuanced and elegant interpretation of Rioja.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby colour, while the nose opens with fragrant aromas of roses and peonies, followed by wild herbs, delicate spice and subtle savoury nuances. On the palate, ripe cherry and plum are framed by lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. Its silk-textured, polished profile leads to a long, elegant finish with impressive detail and balance. Approachable with decanting, the 2020 vintage also has the structure and freshness to develop gracefully in bottle over the medium to long term. With time, its floral, herbal and spicy nuances should become increasingly integrated and complex.

Production
Yjar comes from the historic Remelluri estate in Rioja Alavesa, where vineyards benefit from elevated sites and the distinctive limestone-rich soils of the Sierra de Toloño. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats before maturing for 30 months in foudres and oak barrels of different sizes. This extended élevage gives the wine depth and polish while preserving its vibrant fruit, natural acidity and precise character.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for roasted or grilled red meat, slow-cooked beef, lamb and hearty stews, it also works beautifully with mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes before serving, particularly in its youth, to allow the floral aromas and layered palate to open fully.
