Faustino Rivero Ulecia 2025 Bierzo Godello
Spanish White
$43.99
Clean, bright lemon-yellow colour carries golden highlights. Lime, floral notes and a herbaceous background accompany a fresh palate with good volume and a citrus finish. Godello grows in alluvial soils that combine clay, sand and pebbles. The wine spends three months on its lees without oak and contains 13% alcohol. This young white comes from Bierzo in northwestern Spain.
Descendientes de J. Palacios 2019 Pétalos del Bierzo
Spanish Red
$42.99
Red fruit, violet flowers and black-pepper spice accompany a fleshy, light and fresh profile. The finish is juicy and vibrant. Old Mencía vines grow on steep, rocky slate soils, and the vineyards span several Bierzo municipalities. The grapes are partially destemmed and crushed. Maceration lasts thirty days. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats and open stainless-steel tanks, while ageing lasts ten months in French oak.
Losada 2021 Godello Bierzo
Spanish White
$46.99
Light yellow in colour, the wine offers pear and liquorice with floral, white-fruit and mineral notes. The palate has richness and a light oily texture without heaviness, supported by crisp acidity and slate-like minerality through the finish. Godello provides the full composition. Maturation lasts five months on fine lees, with seventy percent in stainless steel and thirty percent in used five-hundred-litre French oak barrels.
Raúl Pérez 2020 Ultreia Mencía
Spanish Red
$48.99
Ripe red fruit appears with balsamic and mineral notes, while the palate is fresh and balanced, with soft tannins and a persistent finish. The wine is made entirely from Mencía grown around Valtuille in Bierzo. Fruit is selected from the upper rows of the parcel, fermented in open vertical vats and aged for twelve months in neutral barrels. The finished wine contains 13.5 percent alcohol.
Veronica Ortega 2023 Kinki Bierzo
Spanish Red
$81.99
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.
Verónica Ortega 2022 Quite Mencía
Spanish Red
$44.99
Mulberry and brambly fruit lead, joined by floral, licorice and herbal notes. The palate is supple and finely textured, with balanced tannins and an easy flow that keeps the fruit clear. Deep enough for roast pork or grilled mushrooms yet fresh enough for charcuterie, it is expressive without excess weight.
Verónica Ortega 2020 ROC Bierzo
Spanish Red
$93.99
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.
