Palacios Remondo La Vendimia Rioja 2015
Rioja, SpainLa Vendimia is a blend of Spain's two star grapes: garnacha and tempranillo. The style is fruit forward to respecting the youthfulness of this wine that spent less than six months in oak. The attack is ripe with bright floral raspberry/cherry fruit, light spice and just a hint of tuggy tannins. La Vendimia, or 'The harvest,' is a delicious style joven or young Rioja made for simple foods. The fruit sits at some 500m and the estate-owned 10-to 40-year-old vines have been grown organically since 2003. Drink now or over the next three years with lamb, veal or even fish.Tasted: 14 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
