Grown on terraces overlooking the river Miño, the vines for this wine are part of a project launched in 2000 to recuperate abandoned parcels. The consultant is Raúl Pérez, which perhaps accounts for the clarity of the style. Offers the essence of youthful Mencía, with crunchy fruits and an earthy texture.
