The white wines from LdH are rarely boring and this example of the 2009 Gravonia is no exception. It’s always fun to see casual wine drinkers reactions. Most can’t tell if they love them or hate them. 100% Viura, this bottle poured a deep golden color. Notes of ripe melon, funky cheese, roasted nuts and damp basement on the nose. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with a somewhat waxy texture. Notes of melon, lemon, ginger gummies and nuts. Lovely acid. Finish is long. A wine with real character and substance. A wine that makes you think. — 7 days ago

Medium intensity ruby medium wide ruby rim . Pretty open , spicy , blackberry , dark plum . In the mouth pretty dark , spicy blackcurrant , blackberry , dark plum , touch of floral notes . Quite high acidity , tannins still very present , long and complex , touch of mineral , cocoa and coffee notes . Alcohol slightly noticeable but doesn’t detract from the overall experience . Ok now though will improve over the next 5-10 years . After a while deep and closed , more chocolate richness . — 18 days ago

2022/9. American oak gradually dissipates a bit to reveal layers of delicious red fruit - cherries, raspberries, strawberries - with spice and herbs to complement. A great, joyful traditional Rioja. — a day ago

Very light pink-orange in color with a very light floral nose. Very smooth but also very light in body with a very slight small bubble fizz. Slightly sweet with flavor of primarily strawberry and maybe some peach and a slight edge of citrus too. Nice and very good for an aperitif drink. — 9 days ago

Slightly more intense colour , narrower garnet rim. More elegant complex and darker fruits . More intensely fruited but less roasted . Again quite mineral , medicinal even , but elegant and with more fruit extract than the Bosconia . This comes across as more tannic needing more time than the Bosconia . Deeper and fuller on the finish . Better in 5 years will last a further 5-10. Tasted 01/09/2022 — 18 days ago

Sharp and elegant. Really delicious in a traditional way. Server tried to steer us to something “lush,” but we resisted… — 15 days ago
