Der Decanter schreibt in dem Artikel "Why Bordeaux still reigns Rioja":
"The Bordeaux concept is alive in two of the finest bogedas of the region. The single-vineyard/multiple plot concept at Remelluri was such that it could have been at Latour. While Riscal's yearly four million bottles may represent Rioja around the world, the vineyards speak louder at Contino and Remelluri"

The Wine Advocate # 226 - 31st Aug 2016 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2011 Remelluri • Reserva - 92/100 - $40 - 2016-2020
Not far off from the phenomenal 2010, the 2011 Reserva was cropped from a much warmer and riper vintage and it shows. This is the cuvée that represents the house style and wants to showcase the landscape of their estate, blending grapes from their 108 hectares of vineyards located at altitudes ranging from 550 to 800 meters altitude, with vines aged between 35 and 80 years. It's mostly Tempranillo with some Garnacha and Graciano, fermented with natural yeasts and aged in barrel for some 16 months before being bottled. There are aromas of damson plums and plenty of spices, quite ripe and heady, a little cooked. The palate is lush and round with abundant, dusty tannins. This is a powerful vintage. 300,000 bottles produced.
