Description
María Remírez de Ganuza was born as the most intimate and select reflection of a winery that has always pursued excellence. Made only in exceptional vintages, this wine represents a rigorous selection of the best barrels: the concentrated soul of Remírez de Ganuza. It comes from vineyards located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, with an average age of 60 years and grown in poor, limestone, well-drained soils. The climate, of Atlantic influence with marked thermal contrasts, gives character, tension and freshness. The decision to include a small percentage of Viura and Garnacha in the coupage -90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano, 3% Viura and 2% Garnacha-is no coincidence: it seeks balance, verticality and a subtly differentiated identity within the Rioja DOCa.
Winemaking
The production of María Remírez de Ganuza begins with a manual harvest, in 12 kg boxes, followed by cooling the bunches of grapes for 24 hours at 4-6 °C to preserve their freshness. After a meticulous selection on the table, the tips of the bunches are separated and only the shoulders of the Tempranillo are used, due to their higher concentration. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel and concrete tanks, while malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. María Remírez de Ganuza is aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, carefully selected from among the best in the winery, including batches from Viña Coqueta.
Taste
María Remírez de Ganuza is a sober wine, with restrained depth. On the nose it displays aromas of ripe black fruit (blackberry, cherry), hints of incense, cocoa, blond tobacco and a slight mineral touch. On the palate, it is polished and precise: silky entry, fine tannin, firm structure. The oak appears integrated, with echoes of sweet spices, balsamic and new leather. Despite its power, it maintains a fresh tension, with balanced acidity and a long finish, where black fruit, fine toast and elegant minerality mingle. María Remírez de Ganuza does not seek to make an immediate impression, but to leave a mark: a serious, unhurried red wine, with a soul for ageing and the vocation of a modern classic.
