Palacios Remondo Finca la Montesa Rioja 2020

The Palacios Remondo 2020 La Montesa Rioja is a vibrant and approachable red wine from the renowned Palacios Remondo estate in Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja). This wine is a blend led by Garnacha (90%), and Tempranillo. It is known for expressing the warmer climate of its origin, resulting in a fruit-forward and generous character.

2020 is a powerful vintage; it's structured and textured, the oak is very nicely integrated (12 months in barrel, but the powerful wine absorbed it completely), and it's powerful with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.55, a little darker than in previous years. The tannins are very fine with a subtle chalky texture.
