The benchmark wine of the Remelluri estate, Reserva 2016 is a true expression of the rugged, high-altitude vineyards that surround the historic monastery of Toloño in Rioja Alavesa. Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo, with elegant supporting roles from Garnacha and Graciano and a whisper of the traditional white grapes Viura and Malvasía, this cuvée reflects the complexity of the region’s classic field blends.

After hand-harvesting and careful selection, the wine is aged for 17 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, then allowed to rest and harmonise in the estate’s cellars for at least three years before release. This patient maturation lends poise and polish to its naturally concentrated fruit.

In the glass, the 2016 shows a deep, vivid colour and a layered bouquet of wild red berries, black cherry, and plum intertwined with notes of Mediterranean herbs, forest floor, sweet spice and a subtle touch of cedar. The palate is refined yet powerful: fine-grained tannins give structure, lively acidity brings balance, and savoury undertones of tobacco and earth carry through to a long, persistent finish. A wine of depth and freshness, this is a classic Rioja built to reward cellaring, yet already offers beautiful drinking.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
