Palacios Remondo Rioja Propiedad 2007

The Palacios Remondo winery is located in the eastern portion of Spain's oldest and best known wine making region, the D.O.C. Rioja. The estate's flagship wine is made from a blend of the indigenous grape varietals Garnacha and Tempranillo, and true to its name, it is the finest expression of the high-elevation vineyards located on the Palacios Remondo property, or "Propiedad." Winemaker and owner, Alvaro Palacios, describes this wine as containing complex aromas of ripe strawberries, soft citric notes and delicate spices such as pink pepper, mixed with hints of rosemary, wild chamomile and other Mediterranean herbs. The flavors found on the palate are said to mimic the aromas found in the nose, including marked mineral undertones and notes of plump nectarines. Containing well-integrated tannins and a long finish, this wine is meant to drink now or age up to ten years.
