2018 Jose Antonio Garcia Aires de Vendimia Mencia de Corullon (750ml)

Mencia from Bierzo, Castilla y Leon, Spain

92WA

García's family comes from Corullón, and in 2018, he has a wine produced with grapes from vineyards in his village, the 2018 Aires de Vendimia Mencía de Corullón. This is perhaps juicier and has brighter fruit—red rather than black—compared to the one from Valtuille, where he has his winery. The soils here are slate-based, and the wine is perhaps fuller and has a different texture. It fermented in open-top barrels and matured in 500-liter barrels for one year, which might explain a subtle creaminess. 1,000 bottles were filled in January 2020.
