Palacios Remondo, La Montesa, Crianza, 2021

Spain, Rioja. 95% Garnacha, 5% varied.

When I first tasted this wine, I had to go back to the Berry’s site to check the price. Fiendishly good value. Ripe, very rich, very drinkable and full of flavour. Enough body and extract to deal with any lamb dish, or any meat dish for that matter. Expressive and full of charm. The 12 months in oak has given it a touch of zest with refined tannins added to the mix.

Located in the most southerly of the Rioja vineyards, Bodegas Palacios Remondo has a 90 hectare plot, with plantings of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano.

You could keep it a bit longer, but why would you?
