Score: Guide Peñín 94/100
Characteristically Bierzo in its production, made from 100% Mencia grapes grown at an altitude of 700m on a slate and sand terroir, this cuvée is both complex and expressive, with ripe fruit aromas accompanied by a fine mineral touch. A wine with an assertive personality, waiting to be discovered!
