Vinification, winemaker's own words

Terroir:
“La Fontiña de Nai” comes from only one plot in “Las Villegas” spot. The clayey and boulder soil allows a biodynamic activity and regulated growing environmental friendly. Situated in a flat plain near to the fields of “El Friscal” enhance fine and mineral nuances maintaining the red fruity taste of Mencía.
Harvest:
Picked by hand
Fermentation:
Steel (100%)
Storage:
Old oak (100%) 12 months
Winemaker:
Victor López
The grapes are stepped by feet in traditional way and then paced into the stainless-steel tank where the spontaneous fermentation starts after a few days in cold maceration. The fermentation with autochthonous yeast is combined with daily movements two times a day in order to homogenise the deposit and make the fermentation easier. The malolactic fermentation is done slowly in the 225 litre barrels, old barrels to avoid too much woody taste and keep the natural flavours. The ageing is done for 12 months and several decantation processes are carried out, so the wine is naturally filtered before being bottled. The bottling is done in January and bottles are kept resting without movements for some months, so the characteristics are integrated before going on sale.

Information
We created VinosLOF as a family project rooted in generations of vineyard work in El Bierzo. As the Lopez and Folgueral family, we focus on producing quality wines exclusively from our own vineyards, mainly in Valtuille de Abajo and Villalibre de la Jurisdicción. Many of our vines are over 80–100 years old and planted with local varieties, with Mencía as the cornerstone. Through organic viticulture, minimal-intervention winemaking, and the restoration of historic family wineries, we aim to express each plot’s unique terroir while preserving this heritage for future generations.
