The family dreamer.
A young thirty-something Mencía, with a youthful spirit, carefree, and fun.
A good way to discover Mencía is through this young and easy to drink red wine, characteristics that also make it the ideal choice for light conversation. Assemblage of Mencía grapes from our youngest vines from plots of land with their own orientations, exposures, and microclimates. In the glass, it presents a pure and young version of Mencía. A single variety wine destined to represent the authenticity of El Bierzo.
