The wine Lilith Ull de Llebre by Emendis Vinyes

The Lilith Ull de Llebre from the Emendis Vinyes winery is a Spanish red wine that embodies the essence of the Tempranillo grape, locally known as Ull de Llebre. Located in the heart of the Penedès wine region, Emendis Vinyes is renowned for producing wines that respect tradition while incorporating modern innovations. This wine is an excellent choice for Tempranillo lovers, offering a unique sensory experience.

The Winemaking

The grapes are carefully selected and hand-picked to ensure the highest quality. After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle de-stemming and crushing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, maintaining the fresh fragrance of the fruit. Aging occurs in French oak barrels for a period of 6-12 months. The wood imparts spicy notes and an elegant structure to the wine. After barrel aging, the wine is further refined in the bottle for 6 months, developing a complex and harmonious aromatic profile.

Tasting the wine by the winery

Lilith Ull de Llebre stands out for its intense ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and blackberries emerge, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and spices such as black pepper. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with velvety tannins and lively acidity that adds freshness. The finish is long and persistent, characterized by a rich aftertaste of ripe fruit and sweet spices, leaving a satisfying sensation.

Food Pairings

Ideal for accompanying red meat dishes, Lilith Ull de Llebre pairs perfectly with roasts, stews, and grilled meats. Also excellent with aged cheeses and cured meats, this wine complements the intense flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, such as paella or eggplant parmesan. To fully appreciate its qualities, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C.
