Garnacha
Best known in Calatayud, Campo de Borja, Priorat
The Spanish name for Grenache, and Spain is where it all began. Ripe red fruit, spice and generous warmth. Old vines in Aragón and Priorat make wines of real concentration and depth.

The grapes
Graciano
Best known in Rioja, Navarra
A Rioja blending grape with a big personality. Deep colour, bright acidity and floral, spicy dark fruit. Small amounts add freshness and ageing potential to Tempranillo-led blends, and a few producers now bottle it on its own with impressive results.
Tempranillo
Best known in Rioja, Ribera del Duero
Spain's great red grape. Cherry, plum, tobacco and leather, with smooth tannins, and oak ageing adds vanilla and spice. It is the heart of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and in Portugal's Douro the same grape is called Tinta Roriz.
Where it's from
Rioja
Spain
Spain's most famous wine region. Tempranillo-based reds — Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva — defined by their relationship with American and French oak. Traditional Rioja has a distinctive vanilla, coconut character; modern styles are more fruit-forward. Both can be magnificent.
Meet the producer
Remelluri
Rioja, Spain
Remelluri is a historic estate in Rioja Alavesa, with high-altitude, stony vineyards farmed organically and directed by Telmo Rodríguez. Love Wine stocks Reservas back to 2005, the Granja, a Blanco and a six-vintage vertical case.
More from Remelluri →About this wine
A rare six-bottle vertical from one of Rioja’s most respected estates, this Remelluri Reserva Vertical Case offers a unique opportunity to explore how the same vineyards express themselves across different vintages. Sourced directly from the estate’s cellars, this is a collector-level release with impeccable provenance.
The case includes 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2014, capturing nearly a decade of Remelluri’s evolution under the direction of Telmo Rodríguez. Each wine reflects the estate’s high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, organically farmed and vinified with a focus on purity, balance and terroir expression rather than oak or power.
Together, the wines show remarkable consistency of style alongside vintage-specific character — from the savoury, fully mature depth of 2006 to the freshness, lift and precision of 2014. It’s an ideal set for side-by-side tasting, long-term cellaring, or as a genuinely special gift for a serious wine lover.
Vertical cases of this quality and completeness are extremely rare, and once allocated, they are almost impossible to recreate.
