Laya Almansa Red Blend 2023

From Spain’s Castilla-La Mancha region, specifically the Almansa DO, this red blend is crafted by Bodegas Atalaya, part of the Gil Family Estates. Established to highlight the potential of Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell in high-altitude vineyards, the winery has become known for producing bold yet approachable wines that express both tradition and innovation.

Wine Description

Deep cherry-red in colour with purple hues, the wine opens with aromas of ripe dark berries, violets, and Mediterranean herbs, accented by subtle mocha and spice. On the palate, it is juicy and fruit-forward, with polished tannins and lively acidity that give balance to its medium body.

Food Pairing

This wine’s ripe fruit and supple tannins make it an excellent companion to grilled meats, roasted lamb, hearty stews, and tomato-based pasta dishes. It also pairs well with aged cheeses and mushroom risotto. Together, they create an unforgettable dining experience.
