Product info
The Mencía wines at Algueira's show a different dimension from those of El Bierzo - a typical Galician character et more freshness.
Vinification
As is the case for most of Algueira's wines, grapes macerate and ferment in whole bunches. 25% of the wine then goes into stainless steel tanks, while the reste is aged in oak barrels for 6 months. Only indigenous yeasts are used.
Storage potential
5 to 10 years.
To serve
May be served at cellar temperature in a large Burgundy-style glass.
Trial analysis
Bright red colour. Burgundy-like on the nose - sweet cherries, gooseberries. Velvety on the palate, but also robust, fragrant; nice, fresh finish.
Wine estate

The work of a life time, that of Fernando Gonzalez, who started to recuperate old vines, almost abandoned, some 25 years ago. After rebuilding the walls that protect them from erosion, he started to make wine again with them.
This heroic, extreme cultivation takes place on slopes up to 85%.
Today, Fernando owns 16 hectares on the slopes, more than 40 blocks of vines, mainly planted with red varieties. Raúl Pérez transmitted to him his wine philosophy: wine is made in the vine, with a deep respect for the territory and its identity.
