Las Lamas 2021Descendientes de J. Palacios - 300 cl. (Doble Magnum)

“ROC” was the first wine Verónica made in this region in 2010. It is a tribute to her brother Roberto, who passed away at a young age. It comes from two parcels (El Couso and La Rata) located in Valtuille de Abajo, on poor sandy soils with quartz debris. The vines are 80 years old. This blend made from the best terroirs of Valtuille can bear the "vino de Pueblo" mention. This was has not a big extract, but it is typical of the Mencía grape.

Ultreia El Agro is a very limited single-vineyard wine by Raúl Pérez from D.O. Bierzo. The wine is made from 100% Mencía and comes from a small plot next to El Val, overlooking Raúl Pérez’s own house. El Agro covers barely 0.2 hectares and consists mainly of poor sandy soils. The combination of old vines, low yields and sandy soil gives a wine with plenty of charm, freshness and minerality.

This is Raul Pérez's top Bierzo-wine. Named after the old salute of the pilgrims on they way to Santiago de Compostela (Ultreia, go on!) it is a perfect illustration of a pure Mencia. It comes from a 1,1 ha vineyard, planted in 1908, 530m above sea-level?

Another great wine from Álvaro Palacios and his nephew Ricardo. Las Lamas is one of the estate’s Grand Crus, from a superb vineyard on a steep slate slope. Barely 1.6 hectares of old Mencía vines, complemented by a small amount of Palomino and Tintorera. Las Lamas is usually the more structured of the crus, but in fine vintages it retains that typical Atlantic touch, with plenty of finesse. Very limited availability!

One of Palacios' greatest crus. The vineyard has an impressive location on a sheer slope of slate.
