Founded by David Llewellyn, Lusca is Ireland’s pioneering micro-boutique winery. After early viticulture trials in the 1980s, he planted Lusca Vineyard in 1999 and released his first wine in 2005. Today he focuses on minimal-intervention reds and acclaimed sparkling wines, with production limited to just 150 cases a year. Every bottle is made exclusively from grapes grown at the estate, farmed sustainably and crafted without fining or filtration. Despite Ireland’s challenging climate, Lusca wines regularly receive glowing reviews, reflecting David’s skill, precision, and ongoing collaboration with winemakers in Germany.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a smattering of Cabernet Franc, Shiraz, and Dunkelfelder.

This wine was aged 24 months in French Oak barriques, and bottled without fining or filtration. Good aging potential til at least 2029

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in colour. On the nose there are harmonious aromas of blackcurrants, green herbs, green peppers, mint, black pepper and vanilla. The palate is dry with medium acidity and firm yet well-balanced tannins. Ripe, dark fruit flavours of blackcurrants, plums, damsons and redcurrants. Towards the finish there are more spicy elements such as vanilla and black pepper. A very interesting and enjoyable bottle.
