Behind the wine
Young Mencía from old vines.
Joven is a 100% Mencía red with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry and woodland fruits. Its rounded, silky palate combines generous fruit with the freshness of a young wine.
The grapes come from a 3.5-hectare vineyard with bush vines aged 70 to 100 years, at an altitude of 600 metres. They are hand-picked in 12-kilo crates, then selected in the vineyard and on the sorting table. The bunches are destemmed without crushing.
Winemaking includes pre-fermentation maceration at 6 °C with dry ice and fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts for 24 days at 16 °C. The wine rests on its own lees in tank. Racking takes place during the waning moon, with gentle filtration before bottling at the estate.
