Bodegas Licinia
Brand: Licinia | Category: Red Wine | ABV: 14.5% | Origin: D.O. Vinos de Madrid, Spain | Vol: 750ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Deep, refined aromatics. Think ripe blackberries, cocoa powder, black pepper, and rosemary, layered with subtle graphite and toasted cedar. It smells like something serious and it is.
Palate: Silky entry, with bold flavors unfolding gradually. Black cherry, dark plum, tobacco, and spice are wrapped in fine-grained tannins and precise acidity. It’s rich, but never heavy. Complex, yet seamlessly integrated.
Finish: Elegant and persistent. A final touch of licorice and minerality lingers long after the last sip, like a well composed encore.

Production Details
This is a modern blend of Tempranillo, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the high altitude soils of Morata de Tajuña. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted with obsessive care, and aged in French oak for 14–16 months. Minimal intervention, maximum expression. It’s Madrid winemaking at its most ambitious.

Perfect For
Candlelit dinners, serious tastings, or gifting to someone who thinks they’ve tried all the great Spanish reds. It pairs beautifully with Wagyu steaks, braised short ribs, or even grilled mushrooms with truffle oil for a luxe vegetarian match.

Expert Notes
Critics across Europe have called Licinia one of the most exciting boutique wineries in Spain. With consistent 90+ scores and a cult following among sommeliers, it’s a wine that performs like a premium Rioja without playing by the rules.

Customer Reviews

Interesting Fact
The name “Licinia” is inspired by ancient Roman settlers who first cultivated vines in this region. The winery carries that legacy forward, blending classical winemaking philosophy with modern innovation.

Serving Suggestions
Decant for at least 30–45 minutes. Serve at 17°C in a wide bowled glass to allow full expression. Excellent with rich cuisine, but complex enough to be savored solo.
