Llebre red wine from Tomàs Cusiné is one of Les Garrigues’ best-loved classics. It balances youthful fruit with a subtle touch of oak, ideal for anyone seeking a versatile, smooth and enjoyable wine for any occasion.
Soil: Tomàs Cusiné’s vineyards lie around El Vilosell on clay-loam soils with gravel, promoting good drainage and optimal ripening.
Altitude: Between 700 and 750 metres, in the heart of Les Garrigues.
Viticulture: Mountain viticulture in a continental climate. The marked temperature difference between day and night produces grapes with aromatic intensity and natural freshness.
Winemaking: Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by brief ageing to polish the tannins without masking varietal freshness.
Tasting notes: Llebre is deep cherry in colour with a garnet rim. On the nose, red and black fruit notes (blackberry and raspberry) combine with liquorice and a gentle toasted background. On the palate it is luscious, flowing and balanced, with polished tannins and a long finish leaving a pleasant fruity impression.
Pairings: Versatile and perfect with tapas and cured meats, grilled meats, pasta with meat sauces, artisan pizzas and semi-mature cheeses.
