Owned by the Rodríguez family since 1967, The Reserva is Remelluri’s flagship red exclusively made from grapes grown in the property since the 2010 vintage. It is a blend of Tempranillo with other traditional Rioja red varieties like Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. Chief Winemaker Telmo Rodriguez is considered by many to be one of the leading lights for his craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wine-half-bottles\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Half Bottles Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Remelluri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408970203267,"sku":"111872","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/Remelluri-Reserva-Spain-Half-bottle-Red-Wine-Whelehans-Wines.jpg?v=1706535312"},{"product_id":"apostoles-sherry-cream-vors-gonzalez-byass","title":"\"Apostoles\" Medium Cream VORS - González Byass","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Impressive Sherry With Perfect Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the glass, this sherry displays a warm amber hue and releases an elegant bouquet with concentrated aromas of nuts and dried fruits, particularly dates and figs.

A rather mild and dry winter was followed by a rainy spring full of weather contrasts. The technical teams worked very quickly to keep the vineyard in perfect sanitary condition. Then came summer with its scorching temperatures. For this 2019 vintage, the harvest lasted from September 23 to October 4.
