Long Wines

Deep cherry colour with purple highlights appears alongside black fruit, tar, pencil lead and spice. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with lively acidity, a touch of oak and a long fruit-driven finish. Mencía comes from forty-five-year-old vines around Villafranca del Bierzo at 450 to 700 metres. The wine spends two months on its lees in stainless steel and eight months in French and American oak.
