Lasendal 2019

From the oldest vines garnacha to the most delicate pinots, and from our steepest slopes to our most levelled terraces, our vineyards offer a wide arrange of soils and slopes. Rising up around the village of Capcanes, on steep slopes and terraces, our vines are protected by the mountain range of Llaberia. We work predominantly with our two indigenous varietals Garnacha Negra and Carinena of high altitude and low yielding mostly bush vines. Some of them are up to 110 years old. On mineral stony Slate, Limestone and Clay soils our vines are developing highly concentrated fruit intensity and a unique flavour profile.
