Description

Dark ruby-colored, it reveals an enticing perfume of baking spices, eucalyptus/pine notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a smooth-textured, sweet, forward wine with no hard edges. It is a terrific introduction to the Mencía grape and the Bierzo region.

The grapes are handpicked and destemmed. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts. Fermentation lasts around 25 days with twice daily pump overs. After malolactic fermentation is complete the wine is blended. The finished wine rests for 3 months in 5,000 litre old oak before bottling without fining or filtering

Viticulture is conventional, everything is done by hand and vines are not irrigated.
