Description

Bodegas Luzdivina Amigo Baloiro Tinto Seleccion 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Mencia from the Bierzo region of Spain. The vines are planted on weathered granite sands a& clay.

Taste Profile: Intense aromas of red and black cherries with sweet spicy and toasty notes. The warmer vintage is expressed by a fuller body and ripe fruit flavours, leading to a long and a fruity aftertaste.

Winemaking Process: The fruit is cold macerated, and undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for 28 months in French oak barrels & Austrian oak foudres

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
