Tasting Note
A velvety texture conceals depth and structure in this balanced red. Plum, cocoa, loamy earth and mineral notes mingle over well-integrated tannins. Balsamic acidity keeps this lively.
Drink now through 2027. 3,700 cases made, 750 cases imported.

Losada Godello 2018 fresh, balanced, full-bodied
Losada Godello 2018 arrives when the heat begins to accompany us in informal meals and long evenings of terrace and garden.
Slate soils exclusively from two small vineyards of San Lorenzo and San Esteban de Valdueza, a mountainous area near the Valley of Silence. It is a voluptuous and delicate godello, a bright and lively white that will attract all kinds of palates. 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.Ratings: Losada Godello 2018, 93 points Guía Peñín 2020

2016 Losada Spanish Red "Losada"
Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (90)
Review date: March 20, 2019
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.
