orchard fruit and subtle application of wood

it begins to reveal beguiling notes of fragrant earth

Vibrant ruby

This is a wonderfully impressive wine that has the touch of youthful austerity that Champans always seems to display

serious and youthfully austere finale that is noticeably more structured

Olivier Riviere, Losares Size:6x750ml orchard fruit and subtle applicationThere was no 2014 of Losares, so he jumped from the initial 2013 to the 2015 Losares. There will be no 2017 because it was lost to frost. This is always a generous, round and lush wine, especially now that I compare it with the new Pozo Alto. It's mostly Tempranillo with a 5% blend of other grapes from a vineyard planted in 1930, and it fermented with 20% full clusters. It matured in 600 liter oak barrels for 18 months. 800 bottles were filled in June
