Godelia Mencía
12,10€
A celebration of Mencía. The subtlety and elegance are in the variety, the fruit, and the flowers.
Subtlety, elegance, and freshness. These qualities make it a very pleasant wine to drink, capable of conquering all kinds of palates. No wonder then that it is Godelia’s best-selling wine. It comes from old vineyards from different places and has been aged 12 months in French oak barrels, which for us means the landscape of El Bierzo in a bottle. In this way, we raise the Mencía to its maximum expression without the oak covering it up. The important thing is the variety of fruit and flower nuances.
Any time is a good time to enjoy El Bierzo.
Strict and meticulous selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Thermal treatment of the grapes during the process at 10ºC. Manual sorting table. Gentle de-stemming.
