Production Details Single-parcel Mencía from Val de Rodrigo in the Bibei Valley, harvested separately from the other varieties. The 26–80-year-old, en-vaso vines were farmed under practicing-organic methods. Grapes were hand-harvested; after fermentation and 15 days of skin maceration, the wine matured for 12 months in the same used 225 L French oak vessels. Production was 93 six-bottle cases, with minimal SO2 added.
Tasting Notes Round and rich, with ripe red fruit and spice.
