About This Wine
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 typically a blend led by Garnacha, often complemented by Tempranillo and other local varieties. It is known for expressing the warmer climate of its origin, resulting in a fruit-forward and generous character.

"They are going for lower yields and less bottles of the 2020 La Montesa and slowly putting prices up, as they feel the wine is more serious than what the perception of the affordable price makes it. 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. There were 2,319 barrels that resulted in 672,000 bottles, 10,000 magnums and some larger and smaller formats. It was bottled from April 2022." --94 points, Decanter.
