Rioja Propiedad Palacios Remondo 2001

The wine

Vendiama, the youngest wine from well-known producer Alvaro Palacio (Ermita), is a blend of Grenache and Tempranillo. The grapes come from four vineyard parcels, planted at an altitude of 550 metres, in the east of the appellation and the wine is matured for five months in tuns and French barrels. The result is a very balanced and rounded wine with an abundance of fresh and fruity notes. It has an intense, ruby red colour and a powerful nose of plum, tobacco, liquorice and spice. The palate is very fresh with distinguished tannins that enhance the cocoa, spice and plum aromas, and the finish is wonderfully sustained. This wine can be kept for several years.
