Drinkability should be first and foremost in any wine's appeal. And whilst you may be after something more immediate on a weeknight than on a weekend, we believe in a high base level of quality, regardless of when a wine is consumed. Enter the LCDP essentials range. These wines are essential in two senses, firstly as in they should not be missed, and also in that they represent the 'essence' of their respective areas and varieties: Garnacha that tastes like raspberries and pepper, Verdicchio that tastes of the sea and the hills...  

There's no filler here, just six, readily digestible, excellent value for money vinos. Perfect drinking any night of the week.

A PIE DE TIERRA, GRE2 GARNACHA, SIERRA DE GREDOS, SPAIN, 13.5%, 2023
100% Garnacha

100% Verdicchio di Matelica
Light greenish straw-yellow and full of light, aromas of lime, fennel seeds, lemon peel. The palate is the usual trademark: it enters slightly full-bodied and electric, strongly aniseeded, the mid-palate is citrusy with a touch of cardamom, leaving a very long trail of citrus salt in the finish

CEDRE, JUVENILES, CAHORS MALBEC, 12.5%, 2023
100% Malbec
A joyfully ripe expression of Malbec, unoaked and unabashedly delicious. The name refers to the playful style of the wine and also the next generation of vignerons now at the helm.
