Single-plot wine from La Lloma Rasa, north-west facing, on shallow albariza of white calcareous sandstone. 90% Monastrell with Bonicaire, Arcos, Garnacha and Merseguera. Aged 8 months in 2,000 L foudre and 4 months in concrete egg. Serious, elegant, with very good balance and freshness. The wine that best expresses Can Leandro's terroir.
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.
