Can Leandro La Lloma
93 point, 'spectactular, really good value', Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate-rated Spanish red blend
“The 2022 La Lloma is their young red from old vines, a blend of 60% Bonicaire and 40% Monastrell from head-pruned vines planted in 1946 and 1979 that they took over six years ago and had to recover. The varieties fermented separately, the Bonicaire with 100% full clusters and carbonic maceration and the Monastrell with 30% full clusters, and then they aged separately in used 500-litre barrels for two months before being blended and put back in barrel for another four months. It has 13.56% alcohol and notable freshness and acidity, with a spectacular nose, perfumed, floral, fresh and elegant, and a medium-bodied palate, fine-boned, with chalky tannins and very good grip. It’s superb, and a really good value too.” Robert Parker
Can Leandro La Lloma - This wine is refined, elegant, and so bright. Aromas of spice, fresh brambly berries, and fennel-heavy licorice lead to a balanced and soft palate of mountain blueberries, rose pedals, and earth, all wrapping into a long and complex finish.
La Lloma is a blend from a vineyard called La Lloma Rasa, with the region’s famous Monastrell grape, as well as what the estate has put so much time and energy behind, the Bonicaire grape (pronounced: Boh-nee-ki-ruh), known elsewhere in Spain as Trepat. Wines made with Bonicaire are dominated by fresh red berries and hold excellent levels of acidity. It's definitey a grape variety to watch.
Drink with chicken, Thai foods, or even shellfish.
