Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Blanco is a blend of varieties and places and is the first wine that expresses the special character of the Remelluri property. They used different vinification methods (concrete, foudre, barrique, all with indigenous yeasts), and the backbone here is the origin and not the process. It's not a shy white, showing power (14.14% alcohol) and the freshness of the altitude (605 to 805 meters above sea level) with a low pH (3.24). It comes from vines planted between 1989 and 2012 and is worked organically and biodynamically, with cover crops and horses. It has ripeness, notes of pollen and yellow fruit and a touch of smoke and spice, with a very balanced palate and great purity. It follows the path of elegance and freshness of the 2020, but it was a cooler and healthier vintage (in 2020, they had hail twice), and the wine shows more precision and finishes very clean. Pablo Eguzkiza compared it to 2016. 12,930 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.

Description
Remelluri Blanco is a wine made from a variety of grape varieties, such as Garnacha Blanca, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, just to mention a few. It is considered one of the best developed white wines by the Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri winery in Labastida, Álava.
The soils in which the vineyards are planted are of clay-limestone composition. Moreover, all the plots are located at different altitudes. On the other hand, the low humidity favours the development of the organoleptic properties of the grapes, the ideal conditions to obtain the maximum flavour!
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and the wine is then extracted. During the vinification process, indigenous yeasts are used and different biodynamic and organic viticulture techniques are used, as well as ageing and fermentation.
As regards the ageing period, the wine undergoes an ageing process of one year, which includes time spent in barrels, cement eggs and foudres, until it is finally blended.
Taste
On the nose, its aroma gives off toasted and fruity notes, as well as herbal nuances. On the palate, it is balanced, with a long, full-flavoured finish. This characteristic makes it the ideal pairing for dishes such as steamed clams, shellfish and mild fish.
An exceptional white wine
Powerful and balanced, Remelluri Blanco is the ideal choice for lovers of fresh, Mediterranean flavours. Its secret: a well-crafted coupage, which results in a wine of great personality.
