IN THE GLASS
Blackberry and plum give way to toasted nuts and cocoa. The savoury finish runs long. Give this 2019 Mencía a little time in the glass and the layers begin to unfold.
Choose the twelve-month release if depth and a lingering finish are what draw you to a red. The wood is chestnut, not oak, and the longer élevage gives this Lazarus its own character. The entire release was 228 bottles. A precise expression of a particular wine, not another interchangeable barrel-aged red.
Braised meat, mushrooms or mature cheese make good company. So does a conversation that has found its own pace.

FROM THE TERRACES
We make wine in Ribeira Sacra, where slate, granite and slopes above the Sil give Mencía its edge. The grapes are picked by hand and brought down in small crates. Nothing chemical touches the vines; plants, flowers and the living rows are part of the work.
FROM THE SLOPES
The slopes make you slow down.
The terraces rise above the Sil. Each grape comes down by hand, and the slate under the vines gives the wine its mineral edge.
