2021 YJAR Rioja Alavesa
Auslieferung bis zum Frühjahr 2026!
Delivery until Spring 2026!
(Rioja DOC; a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Granegro and Rojal; 14.5% alcohol). Very authentic and true to its sense of place, if perhaps a little burly tasted after Matallana - but I rather like that sense of contrast. Black tea and freshly plucked and pounded dark berry fruits – raspberry and mulberry, brambles too. Autumnal, with a sensation of dried leaves too. Some garrigue herbs. A little candlewax. There’s impressive weight, density and concentration here and the oak is already very well integrated. Very long and reassuringly substantial.
96/100 Colin Hay; The Drinks Business
An excellent vintage in Rioja, and the promise of Yjar is delivering a totally knockout wine here. Impossible not to smile when tasting this, so much energy and precision, savoury, mouthwatering redcurrant, cranberry, blueberry fruits, with waves of dried herbs, lavender, and crushed rose petals. Juicy, moreish, building in power across the palate. Tasted at the estate and again in Bordeaux. Telmo Rodriguez winemaker of this 3.8ha plot set within his family Remelluri estate in the foothills of the Sierra de Toloño in Rioja Alavesa. Harvest October 14 to 24, fermentation with native yeasts, open top wooden vats.
