La Faraona 2017 is an exceptional red wine from the Denomination of Origin Bierzo, carefully crafted by Bodegas Descendientes de J. Palacios. This wine comes from Mencía vines growing in a vineyard known as El Ferro, which spans only 1 hectare. The approximately 70-year-old vines grow in unique soils, both clay-limestone and slate, as well as on magma soils, giving the wine a distinctive flavor profile. The aging in barrels adds aromatic and flavor complexity, making it ideal for pairing with refined dishes like roasted meats or stews. This wine truly represents the essence of Bierzo in both its crafting and expression of terroir.
