Vinification, winemaker's own words
Soils:
Clay
Terroir:
Soil: Unlike the slate typical of the region, this wine focuses on clay-based soils (arcilla), which produce a more elegant, round, and fleshy Mencía. Geography: Located in the golden triangle of Bierzo (Pieros and Valtuille de Arriba) at altitudes of 480–600m. Climate: A sub-Atlantic continental microclimate. The mountains act as a shield against Atlantic storms, ensuring balanced ripening. Vines: Sourced from old bush vines (40–60 years old), providing low yields but high concentration and deep fruit character.
Harvest:
Picked by hand
Fermentation:
Steel (100%)
Storage:
Old oak (80%) 12 months
Winemaker:
AMANCIO FERNANDEZ
Pre-fermentation macera 48h, alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts for 12 days. Total maceration 21 days
