La Milana

  Grape Varieties:

Caladoc, Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), Merlot

  Elaboration and aging:

La Milana are 11 terraces that make a total of 7 hectares. around the current farmhouse of Can Milà de la Roca. About 150 years ago these vines were cultivated directly by Mr. Milá's wife, hence the name La Milana. The mixture of the four varieties is the right proportion given by each of the vineyards, which contributes even more to the fact that we can speak of a farm wine and that is probably why it has a maximum harmony and expression of the place where it comes from. The Bee-eater on the label is a symbol of the biodiversity of this 120-hectare estate, of which only 40 are vineyards.

A wine made from Caladoc Ull de llebre and Merlot from the 11 parcels we have at Can Milà de la Roca, in Lavern.

  Tasting note of the winery:

• View: A delicate wine with a medium burgundian colour.

It is an elegant wine, fresh but with character; a wine to be enjoyed now, or kept to observe how well it ages.
