Peixes da Estrada Mencia Tinto Blend 2019

''Highlighted by aromas, of red berry, herb, spice and a tender mouthfeel.  It's juicy and well rounded with hints of smoke and flintiness.'' 93 Points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate Magazine

Through the explorations of their region, Jesús Olivares and Curro Bareño discovered old vineyard sites around the town Viana do Bolo, which is almost encircled by Valdeorras. These are some of the highest vineyards in Galicia at 600-850 metres above sea level. 

They work with 60 to 80-year-old vines, grown along sinuous stone terraces, and the resulting wines are field blends of local varieties. These distinctive, fragrant wines are an elegant snapshot of this rugged mountainous region.

Expect bramble, cassis, blackcurrants, wild florals and redcurrant fruits as well as a herbal top note and clove spice that adds layers of complexity in this wine that is instantly pleasing. Tannins are fine grained and ripe and the palate benefits from a vibrancy and freshness. A blend of Mencía, Mouraton, Grao Negro, Garnacha Tintorera, Bastardo, Godello, Dona Blanca, Palomino:
