75 cl bottle
A vine in a bottle. From very small plots of their best vineyard in the exclusive area of Los Fornos. South orientation, on a slope overlooking the valley where the Burbia and Cúa rivers meet the Sil river. In terrain dominated by limestone and slate. Surrounded by undergrowth and blackberries, in the summer the vineyard is covered with aromatic plants, wild oregano, thyme, chamomile that we respect as part of our sustainable farming philosophy. In this beautiful environment lies their greatest treasure: very old Mencía vines, some probably pre-phylloxera.
They produce exceptional grapes with a very low yield (barely half a kilo per vine)
The result is this special wine, complex and powerful, elegant and sensual. Transparent, a faithful reflection of the Cerra de los Fornos and the true soul of Bierzo.
Made in Spain Gourmet always offers the best of Spanish gastronomy.
