Fraga do Corvo Mencia is a red wine from D.O. Monterrei produced by Grandes Pagos Gallegos de Viticultura Tradicional.

Grandes Pagos Gallegos de Viticultura Tradicional is a project that aims to elaborate wines from the best Galician areas and with traditional varieties of each zone. At the head of the technical direction is the prestigious winemaker José Manuel Martinez Juste, winemaker also of the Quinta de Couselo winery, a winery belonging to the Grandes Pagos group since 2013.

Fraga do Corvo Mencia is a wine made with 100% Mencia from a vineyard located on one of the historic slopes of Monterrei,

The harvest is manual in 15 kg boxes, with grape selection in the vineyard. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are refrigerated in a cold room at 5°C. After a second grape selection on a vibrating table, the grapes are destemmed by hand and a two-week cold maceration begins. After devatting, the wine is fermented in 500-liter French oak barrels. When the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is finished, part of the wine is aged statically in stainless steel tanks and the other part in fine grain French oak barrels for 7 months. The wine is aged for a minimum of three months in the bottle before release.

Fraga do Corvo Mencia is a fluid, intense and fresh wine. An excellent example of the potential of Mencía in this area.
