The whole range, one of each.
One bottle of every Can Leandro wine, in order of price from lowest to highest: Les Finques (the village wine, grapes from five farms around Ontinyent), La Vella, La Lloma, L'Arenal, Panxut and Alt de les Flors. It lets you taste the house's whole range, from the estate wines to the single-site and single-plot ones, and decide which to buy again. Each wine has its own page with winemaking, soil and tasting notes.
€119.90 for the 6 bottles: €19.98 on average. Four of the wines are also sold individually and add up to €95.80 (La Lloma €15.95, L'Arenal €20.95, Panxut €24.95, Alt de les Flors €33.95); the other two bottles, Les Finques and La Vella, which are not sold on their own, come to €24.10 (€12.05 on average).
Intense purple-red colour. Complex nose of ripe black fruit, floral touches and black spices with scrubland notes. Full, generous palate, ripe tannins and good structure. Warm, persistent finish. A blend of four native Valencian varieties on limestone soils.

Pale yellow colour with greenish reflections. Nose of white flowers, pear and peach with fresh mineral notes. Delicate, fresh palate, good acidity and light salinity on the aftertaste. A blend of three native Valencian white varieties —Merseguera, Malvasia and Tortosí— that expresses the terroir genuinely.

Pairings
Almost translucent cherry-red colour, morello. Mineral, lively nose —red fruit, earth, iron notes and an untamed character— Bonicaire in carbonic maceration (100% whole bunches), Monastrell with 30% whole bunches. Fresh, structured palate, medium body, marked acidity. Long, clean finish. Vines from 1946 and 1979. Quality comparable to a good-vintage Bierzo. 93 pts Wine Advocate.
Aromas
Pairings
Deep purple-red colour. Nose of ripe black fruit, cherries in jam, smoky notes and a light minerality. Powerful, opulent palate, medium-to-full body, ripe tannins and warmth. Persistent, spicy finish. A single-plot Monastrell accompanied by Bonicaire, Arcos, Garnacha and Merseguera.
Aromas
Pairings
Clean cherry-red colour with slight violet hues. Frank, direct nose —cherries, wild strawberries, floral notes— with a herbaceous touch typical of sandy-limestone soils at 550 m altitude. Pure, elegant palate of great freshness, fine tannins and lively acidity. 8 months in a 500 L cask that refines the fruit without covering it. Bonicaire in its most honest state. 92 pts Robert Parker.
Aromas
Pairings
Pale cherry red, surprisingly translucent. Fresh, mineral nose — red fruit, violets, notes of white stone and warm terroir —, unexpected in a Mediterranean area. Broad yet fresh palate, fine and very clean tannins, present acidity. Monastrell from 1946 vines on very white limestone soils (albariza) at 90% varietal representation: a wine that breaks all the clichés of the variety. 94 pts Robert Parker.

Can Leandro's vineyards are in Ontinyent, between 500 and 620 m above sea level, on calcareous soils: the white albariza of La Venta Vella (620 m), the silty-sandy soils over a limestone crust at L'Arenal (550 m) or the sandy-loam of Gosgorrobio (550 m).

Gabriel Sanchis makes wine in Ontinyent from native varieties of the Vall d'Albaida and Terres dels Alforins. From his small winery come authentic wines from almost-vanished native varieties. Wines that are anything but casual, and that from the outset are a total statement: of the identity of the terroir, of the characteristics of the variety and of their personality as the young growers and winemakers they are.
