Daterra Casas de Enriba is a tribute to the old winegrowers who made wine with patience and respect. A fresh and tasty Mencía that is full of delicious contrasts.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Mencia, from Ribeira Sacra in Galicia, Spain. Daterra Casas de Enriba comes from Laura's 20 year old vineyard lying on the steep slopes of the Xares River. This is a wonderful landscape located 550 metres above sea level with granitic soils with a sandy loam texture. The vines are cultivated using environmentally friendly agriculture and biodynamic practices.
Taste Profile: Daterra Casas de Enriba 2019 is a smooth red wine with mineral aromas, floral notes and hints of red fruit. On the palate it is fresh, flavoursome and persistent. A young wine with vibrant acidity and marked tannins.
Winemaking Process: Grapes are partially destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in 4,000-litre French oak barrels for 12 months. Finally, the wine is bottled without refining, filtering or using additives, except for a minimal amount of sulphite.
