La Bascula The Gauntlet Monastrell, Yecla - An extraordinary marriage of richness, complexity and underlying Grace. Produced from a tiny plot of 50 year old bush vine Monastrell in Yecla and aged 11 months in well seasoned American oak. Immense layers of plum and blackberry fruit merge with chocolate, spice and powerful but finely grained tannins. The dynamic duo, South African winemaker Bruce Jack, of FlagstoneWinery, and Ed Adams MW hatched the plan to start La Báscula based on a shared passion for Spanish wine, tapas, Paella, flamenco... all things Spanish! Six years ago the first wines from Jumilla were created under the La Báscula name and since then their vision has steadily expanded to cover winemaking projects in Yecla, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Catalonia and Alicante. La Báscula meaning 'weighing scales' in Spanish is entirely appropriate as all the wines show a wonderful balance between high quality grapes from local varieties and world class winemaking. Bruce and Ed work with a handful of small, likeminded producers, including Juan Gil, to produce an varied range of modern Spanish wines with an innovative twist. |
