Loseco 2024

Vintage: 2024

Region: Rueda, Valladolid, Castilla y León

Grapes: Viura 60%, Verdejo 40%

ABV: 12.5%

Agriculture: Organic, vines 15 to 60 years old, La Seca. Siliceous sandy soils with gravel, 750m altitude, continental climate.

Vinification: Hand harvested with bunch selection. Direct press with natural settling. Each variety vinified separately. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, then aged on fine lees — 80% in stainless steel, 20% in used 300L French oak barrels. Bottled in spring, unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting Notes: Fresh and linear on the nose, with subtle stony, flinty character. The palate is clean and saline with good tension and a long, dry finish. Light-textured but with real substance — a proper everyday white that over-delivers at this price.

Volume: 750ml

Loseco is a traditional blend from La Seca, the self-styled cradle of Verdejo in Castilla y León, combining two varieties that have long been grown side by side in the region. The Viura, harvested slightly before full ripeness, provides structure and sets the profile of the wine, while the Verdejo brings aromatic expression, freshness, and character. The blend shifts slightly from vintage to vintage depending on how each variety performs, but the result is always the same in spirit: a wine that reflects the harmony between the two grapes and the personality of the place they come from.

The 2024 is salty, linear, and fresh, with a touch of flintiness and a clean, direct quality that makes it very easy to drink without being simple. A small proportion of used French oak adds just enough complexity without pulling the wine away from its bright, saline core. Unfined and unfiltered, bottled in spring.
