Item details
Altos de Losada La Bienquerida
Vino de Paraje Las Chas (lieu-dit)
From an ancient and locally legendary single vineyard plot includes a tiny percentage of indigenous vitis vinifera varieties that predate the Mencía, incorporated into the blend for added complexity. The old vines, meticulously rehabilitated following long abandonment, produce an exceptional wine that represents the quintessence of Bierzo.
The strong personality of the wines produced by this unique vineyard has made it historically one of the most desired plots. Almost abandoned lately, nowadays the plot has been recovered by Losada Vinos de Finca.
Tasting notes:
Bright violet color. Intense dark berry and violet scents are complemented by smoky minerals, Indian spices and potpourri. Fresh and expansive on the palate, offering sappy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter with air. The mineral quality recurs on the finish, which is framed by slow-building tannins that mesh smoothly with the wine's intense dark fruit
ESTATE: La Bienquerida 1906.
SOILS: schist
GRAPE: 95% mencía and 5 % other grapes
AGEING: 15 months in foudres.
La Bienquerida 2018 Pine-cone, wild-blackberry, blueberry, lavender, bark, clove and white-pepper aromas. It’s medium-bodied with sleek, ultra fine tannins and fresh acidity. So elegant and refined with beautiful freshness. Silky layers carry you along. Tangerine and orange peel. Hard to resist. Drink or hold. James Suckling 2021
