Can Leandro La Vella 2022 75cl

Tasting Note

A layered nose of ripe peach, green pineapple and citrus rind with lightly herbal and nutty characters. On the palate the fruit competes with the saline, flinty characters. Medium bodied with good weight and texture. The wine has a vibrancy driven by fresheness of acidity. Merseguera has a reputation for being low acid and oxidative, but in Gabriel's careful hands he tames it into a pure, characterful and fresh expression, reflecting a new wave of Spainish wines.

Producer

Can’ Leandro was founded at the start of 2013 by Gabriel and Alberto Sanchis Mestre, transforming their family wine business to one focused on bottling their own wines from the local, traditional varieties. Situated near Ontinyent – a town mid-way between Valencia and Murcia, and 50km from the coast - they craft authentic wines with a modern profile from old Monastrell, Merseguera and Bonicaire vineyards that they have rejuvenated.
