Luka 2012

Tasting: A small family winery run by husband-and-wife Alfredo and Nina. Growing vines on their little parcel of land was Alfredo’s Grandfather’s dream, realising this dream Alfredo and Nina named their first wine ‘Avi’, meaning Grandfather in Catalan (a local version of which is spoken throughout Valencia). Luka, named after their son, is a big wine, in all senses of the word! Very full bodied, but all of its elements in perfect balance. An explosive palate of black fruit, blacker than a black hole! Cassis, blackberries, rich blueberry jam, thyme and rosemary all combine with big grippy tannins, fresh perfectly integrated acidity, and a length that will stay with you until the next day! Grown organically, bottled un-fined and unfiltered with minimal sulpgites used in its production.
