Parcela 90-826 2024
A patch of slate above the Sil. A long finish that brings you back to it.
Free shipping on 6 bottles or more.
New bottlings are sealed with wax from our own bees.
IN THE GLASS
Wild blackberry, cherry and strawberry-tree fruit arrive generously. Beneath them, a mineral edge gives the wine its shape. The flavour stays long after the first impression.
Finca As Borreas, parcel 90-826, in San Pedro de Amandi. A precise place, not just a name on the label. Choose this Mencía for breadth, length and the character of slate under the vines. Give it time in the glass; there is more here than the first sip tells you.
Roast lamb and mushrooms make fine company. So does an evening with no particular plan.

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.
