Doña Blanca
Doña Blanca
Veronica Ortega 2023 Kinki Bierzo
Spanish Red
Pale ruby colour accompanies raspberry, redcurrant and tart strawberry, with floral, herbal, saline and citrus notes. The palate has freshness, firm tannic structure and mineral character. Mencía is joined by Doña Blanca, Palomino, Godello and Alicante Bouschet from a single old-vine parcel. The varieties ferment together with whole stems, followed by eight months in 800-litre amphorae. Alcohol is eleven and a half percent.
José Antonio García 2020 Unculín Blanco Bierzo
Spanish White
Dry and finely structured, this Bierzo white combines Doña Blanca and Godello from old bush vines in Valtuille de Abajo. Pear and melon sit over a light waxy note, while bright acidity keeps the palate taut and clean. Native-yeast fermentation and time on the lees add quiet texture without dulling the wine's freshness. Serve with shellfish, grilled fish or fresh cheeses.
Losada 2019 Mencía Bierzo
Spanish Red
Black cherry and plum lead with toast, dark chocolate and licorice, while mountain herbs and mineral notes add lift. The palate is expressive and balanced, with integrated tannins and acidity carrying the fruit into a composed finish. Generous but not heavy, it suits grilled steak, roast lamb or mushroom dishes.
Verónica Ortega 2020 ROC Bierzo
Spanish Red
Dried rose, violet and ripe strawberry open the nose, followed by raspberry, bramble, liquorice and a cool balsamic-menthol note. The palate is full yet finely drawn, with juicy dark fruit, subtle incense and herbs carried by firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh, balanced and quietly complex, it finishes long, savoury and poised for further development.
