From dry farmed garnacha and monastrell bush wines grown at 1000 metres this an intriguing, very ripe yet savoury red...
Laya is modernized and chocolate swirled garnacha (70 per cent) and monastrell that packs a proverbial Spanish punch....
A garnacha-monastrell (mourvèdre) blend, this is very ripe, slightly soupy red wine with vanilla and dried plum...

This blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Monastrell has a fragrant, intensely aromatic nose offering very ripe black-blue-purple fruit aromas joined by plummy and savoury undertones with touches of pepper spice, limestone mineral, and floral. It's medium+ bodied on the dry palate with ripe black-blue-purple berry and plum flavours. Some peppery spice and earthy mineral notes add a nice savoury component. It's balanced with fresh acidity and supple, lightly structured, and grainy tannins. Mineral notes linger on the long, supple finish. Tasted Aug. 2022.
