Description
Las Lamas is always a touch rounder and riper than its sibling, Moncerbal, which is incredible as the vineyards are so close. The 2022 is no exception, with a generous, floral, musky fragrance emanating from the glass yet still with a slate twist despite the top note of rose petals.
The palate is full of ripe but rounded sweet red fruit but is still mineral behind with a lovely grip and focus. This has a gorgeous presence and a really long length with a mouthcoating yet finely balanced finish, ending with a granitic lift reminiscent of the Northern Rhône.

About this wine
Bierzo
Bierzo is a small and remote ancient region in the north-western corner of Castilla y León. Until recently, it was unknown to the international wine market yet, thanks to the investment and innovation that swept Spain in the 1990s, it now counts as one of the country’s rising stars, on a par with the likes of Rueda and Jumilla. Mencía is the primary grape, covering nearly two-thirds of the vineyards.
