Winemaker Notes
The Lindes de Remelluri, meaning "Borders of Remelluri," crafts a vision of terroirs by focusing on the distinct styles of wines from Labastida and San Vincente. This wine is sourced from the vineyards of a selection of growers around the town of San Vicente. The hotter and drier climate of these sites produces a wine that is less acidic and with lower tannins then that of Labastida.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Even if the wines tend to be more powerful, the 2014 Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de San Vicente de la Sonsierra has less alcohol than the one from Labastida. None the less, the nose feels riper, with an earthy touch. It's very tasty and has coarser tannins than the 2015, long and persistent. 60,0199 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2016.
Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
