The Remelluri Yjar 2020 is the iconic flagship wine of the historic Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri winery and is considered one of Spain’s most exceptional single-vineyard wines. Named after the historic Yjar vineyard, the wine comes from high-altitude plots in the Rioja Alavesa, where calcareous soils, cool elevations, and a wide variety of old vines ensure a distinctive expression of the terroir.
The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously selected. Vinification is carried out plot by plot with the aim of reflecting the origin as precisely as possible. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, followed by a long aging in wooden barrels of various sizes, with elegance and expression of origin always taking center stage.
On the nose, the Yjar 2020 is complex and profound, with aromas of red and dark wild berries, sour cherries, violets, and Mediterranean herbs. These are complemented by complex hints of graphite, tobacco, spices, cedarwood, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is concentrated yet remarkably precise. The fruit is clear and fresh, supported by lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. Mineral nuances, spicy herbal aromas, and exceptional length lend the wine depth and tension. Despite its power, elegance always takes center stage.
The 2020 vintage is considered particularly well-balanced, combining freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity. The wine possesses enormous aging potential and will continue to develop over many years.
Pairs excellently with braised lamb, game dishes, beef tenderloin, Iberian pork, as well as aged hard cheeses and sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine.
