GRAPE VARIETY
100% Mencia

WINE NOTES
This young red wine is made from 100% Mencia grapes, the indigenous Spanish grape that shows all its splendour in the Bierzo region, in North West Spain. The vines from which this wine is made of are south facing and within altitudes of 600 to 750 meters. This high altitude allows grapes to breath during night time and favour natural acidity and freshness in this wine. This wine is fermented in stainless steel deposits and sees no oak.

This is a perfect example of what a Mencia young wine should be. On the nose, it shows the pure fruity character of Mencía grape at its best, with black forest fruits aromas (blueberry), floral notes and mineral touches. On the palate, the black fruits dominate with a herbaceous touch in the after taste.

FOOD PAIRING
Try it with meat dishes, a pork or chicken roast, pasta dishes, cured cheeses or Spanish ham and other Spanish traditional cold cuts (Salchichon, Chorizo, Cecina).

Made with 100% Mencia grapes, harvest begins at the end of September to the beginning of October. Grown on clay, calcerite soils contributes to the minerality of the wine. Western Bierzo, where the vinyard is situated, enjoys a light microclimate with over 2000 hours of sunshine per year but with a high humidity on account of the proximity of the hills and mountains and the moderate maritime climate.
