Remelluri is one of the iconic estates of Rioja and all of Spain. Remelluri’s vineyards are at the highest elevation in Rioja — 500 to 900 meters — located along the slopes of the Sierra de Toloño mountains in poor, stony soils with layers of calcareous clay just above the village of Labastida in Rioja Alavesa. The estate consists of more than 80 individual plots, all of which are vinified separately. These vineyards are almost always the last to be harvested in Rioja; often in late October or November. Organic farming — certified since 2014 — has always been utilized to ensure a wine that refeltcts the unique terruño. Telmo Rodriguez and his sister, Amaia Rodríguez Hernandorena, run the estate, whose motto "the future is in the past", informs everything they do. These wines showcase elegance, finesse, aromatic complexity and are built to age gracefully for decades. 

The wine at the estate that has been the passion project of Telmo Rodríguez since his early days as a winemaker, and has become one of the most coveted and sought after cult wines in all of Spain, is the Remelluri Blanco. The story goes that Telmo’s father Jaime would never let him experiment with the red wines of Remelluri because the risk of failure was too great to make substantial changes. Instead, Telmo was given free rein to create a white expression of the Remelluri farm. The concept of Remelluri Blanco remains the obliteration of grape variety by using a number of co-planted vines and utilizing a gentle, low-impact élevage. Thus, Telmo ensures that Remelluri Blanco speaks only of the terruño of the place, rather than of any particular grape or process. With Remelluri Blanco, he has achieved something truly unique and singular, with each vintage coveted by collectors. Telmo’s Remelluri Blanco illuminated a path forward for world-class, place-based white wines in Rioja during an era when only the red wines garnered any attention or respect. As with all of the wines of Remelluri, the white wine handsomely repays extended cellar aging and patience.
