A blend of mostly Mencía with Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) and Bastardo (Trousseau) • sourced from 80-year-old vines from Finca Paluezas in the village of San Juan de Paluzas, situated (very unusually for Bierzo) on a seam of limestone • whole-cluster fermentation in open-top used barriques • 60-day post-fermentation maceration followed by one year of elevage in used 225L barriques • bottled unfined and unfiltered

"Dark fruit with herbal tones and dried flowers. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing layered flavors and a fine, chalky texture. Firm tannins give the wine both structure and character. From a vineyard with limestone soils in San Juan de Paluezas, on the way to Galicia. Drink or hold."
