Palacios Remondo Rioja Finca La Montesa 2022

Palacios Remondo’s Finca La Montesa 2022 is an organic, Garnacha-led Rioja that combines the warmth of Mediterranean fruit with the freshness and mineral character of its Mount Yerga vineyards. Tempranillo and Carignan add depth and structure to this polished red, made to express the character of its high-altitude, stony site.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red with subtle garnet hues, it opens with ripe strawberry and fresh plum, lifted by orange peel and a hint of pink pepper. The palate is supple and lively, with polished tannins and refreshing acidity, leading to a long finish of cherry, chocolate and white pepper.

Production
The organically farmed vineyards lie near Alfaro on the slopes of Mount Yerga, around 550 metres above sea level. A Mediterranean-continental climate brings notable day-to-night temperature variation, while stony soils of limestone, clay, coarse gravel and volcanic rock contribute freshness and mineral nuance. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by a 35-day maceration. The wine is aged for 12 months in a thoughtful mix of new and used French and American oak; it is clarified with fresh egg whites and bottled unfiltered. Harvesting methods are not specified.

Food & Serving
Enjoy with roast lamb, grilled pork, slow-cooked beef or dishes featuring mushrooms and herbs. Serve at 16–18°C. A short spell in a decanter—around 30 minutes—can help the wine open up, though it can also be enjoyed straight from the bottle.
