It is perfect for these almost summer evenings, pairing for any dish of Asian cuisine: sushi, tempura, also white meats or any fish in sauce such as cod and even ... why not ?, the combination with a secreto ibérico or a boar stew will surprise you. To enjoy alone or in company.
Sustainable Farming in Losada Finca Wines. Replant of strains and grafting of Mencía
These days we are grafting with scions from our own mencía vines, the old Palomino Fino vines that are in our vineyards, as well as replanting new vines in those areas where they have died especially after the freeze of the year 2017
Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Mencia is a very good introduction to this grape. It opens with a black cherry and leather bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and very juicy. The flavor profile a mineral influenced tart plum with notes of black tea. I also detected some hints of wild strawberry and black pepper. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins linger and last for quite some time. I would pair this Mencia with a slow cooked beef brisket.
The musthave of Losada. It represents the universality of the mencía from Bierzo area. With the approach of spring, we renew ourselves in Losada and change our vintage. Our Losada 2017 arrives, a vintage that no one will be able to forget due to the frosts that ended with a large part of the production. However, the fruit of this vintage has been extraordinary. It is a fruity, elegant, very balanced and surprisingly fresh vintage. A mencía that will make you enjoy even in the warmer days of spring.
Something new: we have included a 1% of minority varieties. Selection of old Mencía vineyards located in the heart of Bierzo: Valtuille de Abajo, Pieros, Villadecanes and Corullón. Soft hills with different orientations. Age: 40 - 60 years.
Sustainability. Since 2017 we have removed all traces of herbicide from the soil, increasingly concerned and committed to the conservation of the biodiversity of our soils and the viticultural heritage.
Tasting notes. Red cherry with reddish reflections. Clean, intense and bright. Fruity aromas and blue flowers, presence of red fruit. Fresh and silky entry. A lot of body and structure. End broad and persistent. A fresh, fruity, Atlantic wine with a marked character from Bierzo.

Wine Review: This dark red colored Mencia from Losada opens with a black forest chocolate cake bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and a little juicy. The flavor profile is a mild mineral infused plum with hints of gentle black tea, espresso and a touch of pomegranate. The finish is dry and its refined moderate tannins stick around for a little bit. This Mencia would be perfect with slow cooked beef brisket. Enjoy - Ken
