Notes on the Wine
The old Aires de Vendimia Mencía de Valtuille is now the 2019 Valtuille Vino de Villa, a village wine produced with Mencía and some 15% white grapes (Doña Blanca, Palomino and Godello) from different old vineyards (80 to 100 years old) on clay, sand and stone soils. It fermented in oak foudre with 80% full clusters and matured in French barriques for one year and a further three months in foudre. It showcases the juicy and red fruit character of the wines from Valtuille. It has abundant, slightly powdery tannins and a dry finish.
