The Vineyard

The grapes come from different plots located in San Lorenzo del Bierzo, on the slopes of the Montes Aquilianos.

The vines, over half a century old, are cultivated in bush vines following an organic and minimal intervention philosophy, resulting in moderate yields that favor aromatic concentration and the purest expression of Mencía.

Winemaking

Harvesting is done manually into 15 kg boxes to preserve the quality of the grapes.

After manual selection in the winery, the bunches are completely destemmed before alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature.

After fermentation, the wine remains for three months on its fine lees, providing greater volume and balance without losing the characteristic freshness of a young red wine.

Tasting Notes

It presents an intense purple color with violet reflections.

On the nose, it offers a great aromatic intensity dominated by fresh red fruit, accompanied by delicate spicy notes and a subtle floral hint.

On the palate, it is juicy, fresh, and well-structured, with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a prominent red fruit character. The finish is clean, pleasant, and very easy to enjoy.

Pairing

Ideal for cured meats, white meats, poultry, gourmet burgers, artisan pizzas, rice dishes, pasta, tapas, and semi-cured cheeses.
