Lindes de Remelluri "Viñedos de Peciña" Rioja '20

"Peciña, a hamlet of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, is located on the left bank of the Ebro River in the foothills of the Sonsierra, which are part of the Rioja Alta subzone. This region has considerable elevation change from north to south, with the Toloño mountain range at over 1000m, descending to 500m in the Ebro Valley. Like San Vicente and Ábalos, Peciña lies on the left bank of the Ebro River. However, it has more in common in style, geography, and geologic composition with Rioja Alavesa.

Viñedos de Peciña is a selection of five vineyard plots occupying just 1.9 ha in a special high altitude orientation from 637-672 meters. Viñedos de Peciña is the smallest cuvée from a narrow amphitheater in the parish of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, giving perfumed and floral aromatics with notes of Mediterranean herbs, taut acidity and austere tannins from the high altitude vineyards."

"The perfumed and floral 2020 Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de Peciña is the smallest cuvée from a narrow amphitheater in the parish of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 25% Garnacha and therefore presented in a Burgundian bottle, reflecting the high percentage of Garnacha. It has notes of Mediterranean herbs, some coolness from the high altitude of the vineyards and some austerity in the tannins. 7,149 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022. 94 Points, Luís Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate"
