Remelluri, Blanco, Rioja, Northern Spain, Spain, 2013
95
From the brilliant winemaking mind of Telmo Rodriguez, this field mix of Viognier, Chardonnay, Roussanne, Marsanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Garnacha Blanc, and Moscatel del Pais defies easy description. Think a squeeze of citrus zest, a clutch of wild herbs, a lick of wet stones. First tasted at the estate on a near-perfect Friday night in August, this wine has more than stood up to repeat openings back at home, and never fails to impress. Tiny quantities made though, so recommend grabbing when you see it.
