About this wine

ALTOS DE LOSADA 2018

If you want to understand what all the fuss about Bierzo is, this is the bottle I would reach for — a proper old-vine Mencía with elegance and grip in equal measure.

Altos de Losada comes from Losada Vinos de Finca, working small parcels of old-vine Mencía around Valtuille de Arriba in the heart of Bierzo. From the 2018 vintage it carries the “Vino de Pueblo” designation — a nod to just how tied it is to its village and terroir. It is aged around fifteen months in a mix of concrete eggs, big oak vats and used barrels, which keeps the fruit pure and the oak in the background.

In the glass it is a deep, bright ruby. Aromas of wild blackberry and blueberry, with lavender, a little clove and a lift of white pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully fresh — silky, ultra-fine tannins, vibrant dark fruit and a savoury, mineral length.

Lovely with roast lamb, grilled meats, mushroom dishes, or a plate of cured Iberian ham. It has the freshness to handle a bit of spice, too.

Losada Vinos de Finca

Losada Vinos de Finca is one of the names that helped put modern Bierzo on the map, championing old-vine Mencía from the region’s clay and slate soils. They farm with great care and a light hand in the cellar, letting the fruit and the place speak. Altos de Losada is their village wine — and a benchmark for what Bierzo does so well.
