2020 Mata Los Pardos Vino de Paraje, Bodegas Peique, Bierzo

Mencia

The grapes for this wonderful Mencia come from the single vineyard (Paraje) of Mata Los Pardos. With an average age of 90 years old, the low yielding vines produce fruit of exceptional quality and complexity.  The wine shows lots of red and black fruits, notably blackberry, plum and cherry with mineral tinged herbal notes and a toasted spice character courtesy of the barrel fermentation and ageing (12 months in 500ltr French oak).  This is a wine that shows wonderful purity of  fruit, a silky texture and a fair bit of understated power to boot!
