Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Wine Advocate
The eponymous 2017 Lavia has more Monastrell than in previous vintages, and there's only 20% Syrah in the bottled blend. 2017 was an early and low-yielding year. The grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in 10,000-liter oak vats and used 500-liter oak barrels for one year. It's drinkable and Mediterranean, juicy and with fine tannin, serious enough within the more approachable and drinkable profile of the wine. Even in a warm vintage, the altitude of the zone gives the wine a touch of freshness, a characteristic of Bullas. 40,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.

Very attractive plums, berries and cherries with some orange character. Medium body. Fresh finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Winery Notes
Cherry color, medium layer and violet edging. Intense nose, memories of red berries, exotic fruits on notes of coffee bean. The mouth is pleasant, balanced in passing, in aftertaste red fruit and montebajo that enhances its freshness. Harmonious and persistent finish.
