The name Quite (little hand, in the parlance of the bull-fighters) brings us back to the Andalusian roots of Veronica, whose father was a torero.
This is Veronica's most approachable Mencia, juicy and fruity, but still very personal.
Vinification
Traditional vinification. The grapes are bought from friendly winegrowers.
The grapes are totally de-stemmed; After a short maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 80% of the wine is aged for 8 months in large vats (2,500, 3,500 and 5,500-litre French oak foudres), 20% in 800-litre dolia jars and 228-litre used oak barrels.
Storage potential

Trial analysis
Dark but shimmering red colour.
Very fruit forward on the nose (red and black berries), but with enough tension.
Juicy but well-structured on the palate, and no hint of the ageing process. Very nice expression of the Mencía grape indeed!
