Behind the wine
A clarete made from Mencía.
Pethiox Clarete is a single-varietal Mencía with a salmon-pink colour and cherry hues. Red fruit, grapefruit and hints of rose accompany a fresh, balanced palate with a persistent finish.
It comes from a 3.5-hectare vineyard, with bush vines aged 70 to 100 years at an altitude of 600 metres. The gently rolling terrain has a Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence. The grapes are hand-picked in 12-kilo crates and selected both in the vineyard and on the sorting table.
After destemming without crushing, the grapes undergo pre-fermentation maceration at 6 °C with dry ice. Fermentation follows in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts for 24 days at 16 °C. The wine then rests on its own lees in tank, before gentle filtration and bottling at the estate.
