2021 Somos Mencia Cult Wine

Single vineyard & handpicked. We did a heap of small wild ferments, some with tons of whole-bunches, some without. Some got pressed early, and others we left on skins for a bit longer. Including 1 tank of 100% wholebunch carbonic lockdown fermentation. Each component pressed separately and into 2-4th fill, and matured separately in Burgundian French Oak for close to a year. Trying to follow the canons in Ribeira Sacra where this variety has restraint and poise to the point of the sublime, this is a really delicate, floral, bunchy expression, with a savoury chewy tannin structure, and just a slight cola-esque carbonic lift. Decant for best results.
