Icons of Rioja | Remelluri Pair

Remelluri Blanco is one of those rare white wines that immediately makes you stop and ask, “what makes this wine SO good?”. Bright, high acidity drives the wine with incredible precision, while layers of lemon peel, citrus oil, white peach and savoury texture unfold slowly across the palate. Aged for 14 months in large old oak barrels, the oak influence is subtle and beautifully integrated, adding texture rather than flavour, allowing the wine to feel pure, energetic and completely seamless. Part of the magic of this wine is that nobody at the winery will disclose the exact grape blend, leaving a sense of mystery around the wine that somehow makes every glass even more compelling.

This white Rioja completely breaks away from tradition by excluding Viura entirely and instead blending nine grape varieties from both indigenous Spanish and Rhone origins. Remelluri has long been recognised as one of Rioja’s most terroir-focused estates, placing vineyard expression ahead of ageing classifications or winemaking trends. Their high-altitude mountain vineyards, organic farming and restrained use of oak have helped redefine what fine white Rioja can be, producing wines with freshness, tension and remarkable ageing potential. For lovers of complex, age-worthy white wines, Remelluri Blanco has become one of the most sought-after modern white wines in Spain.
