Fresh, highly aromatic bouquet of red and dark berries; rose, smoky minerals and Asian spices; reminds me of high-end Burgundy. Sweet, sappy, and focused, with vibrant raspberry and blackberry flavors and a jolt of white pepper. Tangy minerals add cut to the long, focused,impressively pure finish. [Notes2] => The estate`s vineyards are planted primarily on clay soils, on the outskirts of the village of Pieros, on the St James pilgrimage route, midway between Cacabelos and Villafranca del Bierzo. The small plots of the Mencía variety are planted in valleys protected to the north by the Montes de León and to the south by the Cordillera de los Aquilianos.With their low pH, the soils are well suited and are made up of two types: slate and sandstone on the one hand and rich clay on the other. The vines are planted at an altitude of between 400 and 800m.The continental climate provides over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year with an average rainfall of 750mm. The vineyards are small bush-vine plots and require only minimum intervention. The soils are ploughed and in some area a grass cover-crop is seeded in order to combat erosion, reduce vine vigour and maintain soil structure. Altos de Losada comes from high altitude vineyards near the villages of upper Valtuille and Pieros close to the Losada property. The soils are predominantly clay and of slopes with different exposures. Harvesting is done by hand.
