Summary
Remelluri was founded in 1967 by Jaime Rodríguez Salis, although the history of the vines dates back to the fourteenth century, when monks from the Toloño monastery established a sanctuary and farm on the site. After the monks left the area, a local organization maintained the farm until the land was split up and sold. Since establishing the modern winery, Salis has worked hard to restore the vineyards to their original condition. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Sierra de Toloño mountain range.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Remelluri was the first estate in Rioja to do 100% estate bottling of its wines. Its focus is on classic Rioja varieties, including Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo, and Viura. In the vineyard, Remelluri employs biodynamic techniques, and natural yeasts are used for fermentation.
