"The 2023 Dominio de Anza Seleccion de Parcelas was selected from different lieux-dits on clay soils (Rapolao, El Val, El Agro, El Couso and Barrediños), one from sandy soils (La Tejería) and others on slate and granite (El Souto and El Cascallo). It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats of different sizes with a variable part of full clusters and matured in 500-liter barrels and 2,500- and 3,000-liter oak vats. It's very young and has an herbal-fresh side to it, more Cabernet Franc-like if you will, with a floral twist and with very fine-grained tannins. It's beautifully textured and stony, very round, fresh and young. 14,000 bottles were produced and filled in September 2024 and April 2025."

"The 2022 Dominio de Anza Selecci¢n de Parcelas comes from the same plots as the 2021 with small variations, and it fermented mostly destemmed because he feared the concentration from the year. Although it's only 12.9% alcohol, the wine has ripe aromas of berries, even some raisins, and the palate is more generous, a little rounder and softer but keeping good tension. It seems to be aging at a faster pace. However, three hours later, the wine was a lot fresher, the sensations of very ripeness had disappeared. It's a ripe year, yes, but there is no excess, and the wine felt a lot more balanced, even less evolved and younger than the sensations I found earlier on. Decant a couple of hours in advance? 14,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024, after 12 months in used oak vats and foudres."

"The 2022 Dominio de Anza is Mencía and others from Bierzo, sourced from vineyards planted over 80 years ago. Intensely purple in hue, it offers aromas of pomegranate, violets and red fruits like cherry and sour cherry accented with menthol and hints of animal notes from aging. The palate is smooth, with tension, medium weight and reactive tannins. It's from a warm vintage with good fruit depth, highlighting mint for added complexity. The 2022 is rich and layered."
