Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: Spain
Medium Red Wines
100% Mencia
Vibrant tinto from a 4th-gen, family-run winery on the banks of the Miño River. Mature vines (30-40 years) from granite soils in Ribeiras do Miño and slate soils in Quiroga-Bibei. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by 5 to 8 months aging in tank. Ripe cherries and warm spice, pleasant minerality and acidity – enchanting.
Grapes are hand-harvested in 20kg crates and fermented separately by parcel with native yeasts in 5000L stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period of two to three weeks and punch-downs done by hand before a slow pressing in a vertical press. The wine then rests in tank for five to eight months before bottling, allowing it to develop its character without unnecessary intervention.
