2023 Daniel Landi Viticultor Las Uvas de la Ira

Las Uvas de la Ira is one of the most exciting modern expressions of Méntrida, showing Daniel Landi’s signature touch for elegance, precision, and lifted Mediterranean character. Made by Vitícola Mentridana from 2023 fruit, it captures the energy of old-vine Spanish red wine while remaining fresh, pure, and remarkably drinkable.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, translucent red color that hints at its finesse rather than sheer weight. Aromatically, expect a vivid mix of red cherry, wild strawberry, Mediterranean herbs, floral notes, and a subtle earthy spice, all carried by a lively, mineral-tinged profile. On the palate, it is usually medium-bodied and silky, with juicy red fruit, fine tannins, and refreshing acidity that keeps the wine very balanced. The finish is often long and savory, with a stony, herbal edge that reflects its origin. While enjoyable now for its freshness and purity, it should also gain nuance over the next several years.

Production
This wine comes from Méntrida in central Spain, a warm region where old-vine parcels and poor, well-drained soils help produce wines with concentration and personality. Daniel Landi is known for working carefully in the vineyard, often favoring low-yielding sites and harvesting by hand to preserve fruit quality and vineyard expression. Vinification is carried out with a restrained, terroir-driven approach, aiming to protect freshness and transparency rather than overwhelming the wine with extraction or oak. The result is a wine that feels precise and site-specific, with a clear sense of balance between ripeness, structure, and lift.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red for food, pairing especially well with roast lamb, grilled duck, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine with herbs and olive oil. It also works beautifully with tapas, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 15–17°C, and give it a short decant if possible to allow the aromatics to open up.

Vitícola Mentridana is closely associated with Daniel Landi, one of the most respected voices in contemporary Spanish wine, known for elevating the reputation of Méntrida through soulful, terroir-focused winemaking.
