Bodegas Laosa
Trasto Prieto Picudo
Tierra de León, Castilla y León, Spain
Bright violet color. Red berries, cherry pit and a hint of licorice on the expansive, spice-accented nose. Silky and seamless in texture, offering lively bitter cherry and raspberry flavors and a smoky mineral nuance that emerges with air. A floral pastille note builds on the subtly tannic finish, which hangs on with lingering spice and floral notes. (20% whole clusters; aged in neutral French oak barrels.)

High toned and jangly when opened. Five days’ aeration reveals a savory, spicy and focused big red that doesn’t rely on a payload of alcohol to make an impression. Acidic and inky rather than tannic. Energetic and expressive.

A beautiful pink colored rose made out of a rare grape prieto picudo. The rose is made by leaving grape skin overnight with the mash resulting a beautiful hue. On the nose this has sour cherry, lychee, thyme and banana and on palate it has brine, green apple, peach and lemon juice. Pair with semi rich dishes and cured meat. Medium - acidity.
