Tasting notes Losada Selección de añada 2022

Red wine Aged in wood Respectful agriculture. 24 mes en fudres.

Losada Selección de añada 2022 embraces with elegance from the very first moment. On the nose, it unfolds a spectrum of aromas where plum and blackberry take centre stage, accompanied by subtle floral notes. The waxes from the ageing process impart a characteristic sweetness, while spiced woods, liquorice, and leather add layers of complexity. On the palate, it stands out for being honest and flavourful, with creamy tannins that envelop a formidable structure. The acidity is perfectly balanced with its rich fruit load, culminating in a spectacularly long finish. Its well-structured character and the complexity of its flavours make this wine a memorable choice for those seeking something authentic and sophisticated.

About Losada Selección de añada

For generations, clay had a bad reputation in the field. It was considered a heavy, cold, and difficult soil to work with, especially when compared to the malleability of limestone or the elegance of slate. However, in a scenario of increasingly hot summers and prolonged droughts, that once-ignored clay has become a true lifeline for the vineyard. Its ability to retain water at depth acts like a natural sponge, nourishing the vine during the most critical moments. At Losada, they decided to take the bold path and fully commit to those small clay hillside properties that many had discarded. The outcome couldn't have proved them more right. Planting Mencía on these forgotten soils has shown that the resilience of the earth is key to crafting wines with character, freshness, and enviable viability.

From the heart of Bierzo, in the province of León, Altos de Losada Selección de Añada is born from the blend of three plots owned by local winegrowers located in the Bercian municipalities of San Lorenzo, Valtuille de Arriba, and Cortiguera. The vineyards are situated at an altitude ranging from 510 to 780 metres above sea level, with those in San Lorenzo being the highest, a crucial factor that imparts exceptional freshness, liveliness, and aromatic intensity to the grapes. The diversity of soils defines the wine's personality. The clay soils, particularly present in Cortiguera, provide structure and depth, while the slate of Valtuille de Arriba imparts a distinct minerality. Entirely crafted from the Mencía grape variety, the vineyard is managed through precision viticulture that respects the maturation times of each plot.

The winemaking of Altos de Losada Selección de Añada is carried out with separate vinification for each parcel to preserve the identity of each origin. The harvest is conducted strictly by hand. In the winery, a complete destemming of the bunches is performed, keeping the berries whole without crushing. Alcoholic fermentation, the biological process where yeasts convert the sugars in the must into alcohol, takes place in stainless-steel tanks with native yeasts, applying very gentle pump-overs. After a 30-day maceration in contact with the skins, the wine undergoes 24 months of ageing in French oak foudres, large wooden vessels that allow for slow maturation without masking the fruit. Finally, the wine is bottled without filtration or cold stabilisation, having been clarified solely with natural gelatin.

Altos de Losada Selección de Añada is a red wine with a profound, savoury, and very balanced profile. It confirms that looking where no one else did can result in a glass full of authenticity.
