Reserva
Two bottlings of one rescued wine: a 2019 Mencía the previous owner told us to pour away. After a year of work it went into chestnut barrels, seven months for one bottling and twelve for the other. 402 bottles in total, and no more to come.

The wine we were told to throw away
When we took over the bodega in 2021, there was a 2019 Mencía still in the cellar. The previous owner said it was turning to vinegar and told us to pour it away.
We didn't. A local oenologist and a sommelier worked on it for about a year and brought it back. In December 2022 it went into chestnut barrels, because Soutelo means chestnut grove. Today it tastes of dark fruit, roasted chestnut and a little cocoa, and the finish stays with you.
