Tasting Notes

Deep cherry to purple in color, this Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell blend opens with ripe red and black fruit, floral notes, chocolate, spice, tobacco, burnt sugar, black olive, and tomato leaf. The palate is fresh, smooth, and medium-bodied, with ripe fruit, sweet polished tannins, good acidity, an enveloping texture, and a long slightly bitter finish.

Food Paring

Pair this bold Almansa red with grilled red meats, roasted white meats, game, stewed legumes, mushrooms, creamy rice dishes, or cured and blue cheeses. Its ripe fruit, sweet tannins, and fresh Mediterranean profile also make it an easy match for pasta, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, and casual barbecue plates.

Professional Reviews

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The young entry-level 2024 Laya was produced with 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Monastrell from dry-farmed 30-year-old vines on limestone and stony soils. It fermented in 20,000-liter open-top stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts and matured for four months in used French oak barrels, where it also underwent malolactic. It's heady, with notes of very ripe dark berries and is young and primary, fruit-driven, easy to drink and juicy, with velvety tannins, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.76 and 5.4 grams of acidity. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025."
