This Verdejo also perfectly matches Spanish tapas like calamari or a simple tortilla española.

Fruit, relatively little wood influence, and immense drinkability characterize Telmo's wines. In a short time, his wines have found a place on the international stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA characteristic of Telmo is that he opts for indigenous grape varieties, which are also pruned in an indigenous way. This means that he only works with 'bush-vines', or vines that are not trained along wires but grow as independent bushes. The bushes are also spaced further apart than with wire training. This has two advantages in warm \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/spanje\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: each bush finds enough moisture, even in dry vintages, and the bunches hang in the shade of their own leaves, so they are less 'stewed'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTelmo likes to work with old vines, so that the roots go deep to find moisture. It also benefits the quality of the grapes. Old vines yield a lower harvest, but of high quality and complexity.

They are located on the slopes of the Sierra de Toloño mountains, south-facing, sheltered from the cold north wind. The stony soil with layers of clay, the rainfall from the Atlantic coast, and the lower-than-average temperatures in Rioja ensure good phenolic ripening of Tempranillo. Some of the vineyards are very old; also, in various vineyards, the grape varieties are traditionally planted together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs early as the 14th century, monks made wine here from grapes from the surrounding vineyards. In 1967, the house came into the hands of Jaime Rodriguez, the father of pioneer and idiosyncratic winemaker Telmo Rodriguez. Jaime immediately implemented drastic changes. For example, he decided to only make wine from grapes from his own vineyards, which was exceptional in Rioja at the time. The aim was also to cultivate the vineyards as naturally as possible, in order to preserve the special character of the vineyards as much as possible. In 2010, the vineyards were officially organically certified under the leadership of Telmo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemelluri's wines put \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rioja\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eRioja\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on the map in a beautiful, renewed way.
