Rioja DOCA La Vendimia Palacios Remondo 2021

The wine

La Vendimia is a blend of Grenache and Tempranillo produced from 4 parcels situated to the east of the appellation at 550 metres of altitude. Produced by the famous Alvaro Palacios (Ermita), this wine is the newest in the range. With a 5-month élevage in French barrels and casks, the result is a very balanced, well-rounded wine which is dominated by fruit and freshness. On tasting, it boasts an intense, ruby-red colour, a powerful nose with notes of plums, tobacco, liquorice and spices. On the palate, there is a nice freshness and elegant tannins which showcase the aromas of cocoa, spices and plums. The finish is very good.
