DESCRIPTION

LAUS vineyards are scattered in different areas of Somontano, at an altitude that ranges from 350 to 400 meters above sea level.

The different soil types give the grapes special qualities to achieve white, rosé, and red wines with unique character. It is an area of stony, chalky soils with loamy texture and the occasional presence of gypsum. This kind of soil is known for its low fertility levels.

The climate of the area is continental Mediterranean, with low annual rainfall (400 mm). Because of this, a small amount of controlled irrigation guarantees grape quality even in the driest summers and reduces variations between vintages.

The combination of poor soils and the warm, dry climate of southern Somontano allows the grapes to ripen fully and produces limited yields of excellent health.

Production: 90.000

TASTING NOTES

Red wine with an intense cherry red color, tinged with red and bluish shades.

On the nose it is very intense, marked by the aromas from the oak-aging process – toasted wood, vanilla, and spices – and those from the grape: ripe fruit, peach, black plums, and preserved cherries.

Mouth-filling, fresh palate, with sweet, silky tannins that leave an enticing mouthfeel.

The fruity flavors of the grapes and the toasty and smoky aromas from the wood blend perfectly, resulting in a flavorful, complex, well-balanced wine.
