From the northern part of Bierzo, outside of the limits of the DO, this field blend is Mencía (60%) with Garnacha Tintorera, Palomino, Merenzao, Garnacha and Gran Negro. It is grown at up to almost 1,000m on red clay soils with granite, and harvested about a month later than the vines from the central valley. Forest-fresh aromas with balsamic and lavender open to red cherry, sloe berry and a hint of salinity. Steely and direct, it is a great example of high, cool Bierzo with an Atlantic profile.
