Iraila 2022
Description
Iraila 2022 marks a new chapter in the history of Remírez de Ganuza, being the winery’s first wine made entirely from 100% Garnacha. It comes from old vineyards in the plots La Rad (1975) and El Convento (1966), located in the high, cool areas of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.
Aged for 11 months in a combination of 228-litre French oak barrels and 400-litre ceramic amphorae, Iraila expresses the purity and elegance of the Rioja terroir, with a fresh, floral and balanced character. Only 1,800 bottles were produced, making it a wine as exclusive as it is authentic.
