About this Item
Remírez de Ganuza is a Spanish wine producer, located in the Rioja sub region approximately 12 miles (20 kilometers) northeast of Logroño. It is particularly known for its flagship Reserva and Gran Reserva wines of the same name. The estate was founded by former wine-broker Fernándo Remírez de Ganuza in 1989, when he acquired top-quality plots in Rioja Alavesa.
Trasnocho is one of the flagship wines produced by Remírez de Ganuza. It is a Reserva wine made from a blend of Tempranillo and other local grape varieties sourced from the estate's best vineyard sites.

Critics Ratings
‘Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza is one of Rioja’s benchmark estates. It encompasses about 132 acres located in four regions of Alava Rioja planted to approximately 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano. The winery itself is located in the village of Samaniego. Upon my arrival at the Bodega in May 2010, I discovered a surprise. In addition to a vertical tasting of all the Reservas, Senor Remirez had prepared a similar vertical of Trasnocho, a wine that has never been exported to the USA. With all due respect, the greatest vintages from Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza in my opinion are 2004 and 2001. Trasnocho is Fernando Remirez de Ganuza’s take on a more contemporary style.’ - Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, 98/100
‘Very, very deep colour. Very, very intense and concentrated. Made with big bags full of water in the tank to press grapes gently. Very modern and a bit extreme. Lots of dry tannins at the end. I'm not totally convinced.’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16/20 (Nov 2003)
