Only 8796 bottles of this outstanding 2008 Shiraz were created. The wine is a vibrant dark red with deep purple tints and has intense aromas of spice, blackberry and white pepper. The palate is a long and elegant expression of blackberries with hints of star anise and chocolate. The flavour is further enhanced by fine spicy tannins typical of cooler climate Shiraz.

2009 was the first vintage of Evohe tempranillo. The wine was aged at the winery and released at the end of 2010.

The philosophy of Bodegas Leceranas is to return to historical wine-making values and practices. With this new wine, Evohé Tempranillo, they have taken Spain’s representative grape and made a quite distinct tempranillo, young and expressive, rejuvenating the perception of this variety with an emphasis on showing its simple greatness in a modern, pure style.

Evohé Tempranillo is a wine of red cherry colour, with violet tones that denote its youth and potential. The nose is delicate, with marked aromas of red fruits and raspberry. The palate is clean with very flavourful fruit and soft tannins. It is lightly oaked.

The high altitude, fresh air and intense sun of this Malbec vineyard in Consulta, Mendoza have contributed to the formation of this profound Malbec.

The purest expression of the Sauvignon Blanc variety occurs in cool climates. The vines are cultivated at an elevation of 3900 feet in the foothills of the Andes in the region named Tupungato. The viticulture techniques are strictly controlled to concentrate the flavour characteristics of this varietal. Floral aromas of lime and melon along with a full body, produce a wine which is fulfilling alone or as a great accompaniment to food.

2010 vintage .....90 Points – Penin Guide to Spanish Wines 2012

The grapes for this wine are hand-picked from 65-year-old grenache vines, and the wine is fermented in the village’s 100-year-old vats, using natural wild yeasts. It is clarified by filtering it through fine mesh and it is not barrel-aged. The only modern technique used, is to cool the must, prior to fermentation, to lower the alcohol level. This wine exhibits one of the most classic and historically correct expressions of the original taste of Spanish Garnacha.

"The palate exhibits ripe, juicy red fruits with hints of raspberry, accompanied by aromas of violets, lavender, rosemary and thyme." Unoaked!
