The flagship Reserva is the wine the Rodriguez family set out to make when they bought the abandoned Remelluri estate in 1967 - a Rioja that could stand alongside any great wine in the world. Built from a blend of estate parcels in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, it sees the extended barrel and bottle aging that earns the Reserva designation, but with a fresher, more terroir-driven sensibility than old-school Rioja. The 2018 vintage was balanced and elegant, a cooler year that suits this estate's chiseled, high-elevation style beautifully. Pour it at dinner tonight or hold it for a decade - it'll reward either choice.

"The 2018 Reserva Remelluri from Labastida, Rioja Alavesa, opens with cola, oak spice and wild herbs layered over plum and a caramel-toned sweetness. On the palate, it feels supple and polished, with plush tannins and herbal inflections reflecting a classical Rioja frame shaped by élevage. The finish stretches with composure. A wine that nods to Bordeaux in structure yet beats unmistakably with a Rioja heart." —Joaquín Hidalgo

"The 2018 Reserva comes from a late growing season and was produced with local varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and others from their 86 hectares of vineyards at 590 to 805 meters in altitude on limestone, sandstone and marl soils, now certified organic. The grapes were picked late with good ripeness and health and fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and open-top oak vats, then the wine matured in oak containers of different sizes for 22 to 24 months. This is a very good classical wine, serious and balanced, with very fine tannins, a balanced mouthfeel and enough power and concentration to be able to show elegance and nuance. It's very tasty, almost salty. 301,779 bottle produced. It was bottled in May 2021." —Luis Gutiérrez
