Awarded a rare double 100 points from both Jane Anson and James Suckling, the 2021 is widely regarded as the greatest Yjar to date.

Production of Yjar is vanishingly small, with only 10,500 bottles made in 2021, the equivalent of just 35 barrels. Jane Anson celebrates its “energy, precision and savoury, mouthwatering redcurrant and cranberry fruits” while James Suckling highlights its “exceptional definition… depth, persistence and an incredibly stylish profile.” A spellbinding Rioja that sits comfortably among the world’s finest single-vineyard wines.

What the critics say:

100/100Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

"An excellent vintage in Rioja, and the promise of Yjar is delivering a totally knockout wine here. Impossible not to smile when tasting this, so much energy and precision, savoury, mouthwatering redcurrant, cranberry, blueberry fruits, with waves of dried herbs, lavender, and crushed rose petals. Juicy, moreish, building in power across the palate. Tasted at the estate and again in Bordeaux. Telmo Rodriguez winemaker of this 3.8ha plot set within his family Remelluri estate in the foothills of the Sierra de Toloño in Rioja Alavesa. Harvest October 14 to 24, fermentation with native yeasts, open top wooden vats."

100/100James Suckling

"Crushed dark berries are complemented by violets and underbrush with a gentle touch of tobacco. The sophisticated palate shows exceptional definition and polished tannins that are seamlessly integrated into a core of vibrant, restrained fruit. It’s all held together by a linear freshness characteristic of the vintage. This wine has depth, persistence and an incredibly stylish profile. Firm yet with an underlying tenderness. Beautiful now but will continue to evolve. Drink or hold."
