Description

Vinos Imalia La Naveda 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Mencia from Bierzo in Castilla y Leon, Spain. This comes from the La Naveda vineyard, the post-phylloxxera vines are planted on sandy-loan soils with an abundance of slate.

La Naveda comes from four small plots of Mencía grapes that form a mosaic in the area located in the village of Otero de Toral, east of Corullón, at an altitude of 550 meters. The northern orientation results in later ripening, which enhances freshness.

Taste Profile: A vibrant and fruit-forward Bierzo that has aromas of raspberries, orange rind, plums and flowers. There's a touch of white pepper, too. It's medium-bodied, pure and appealing, with crunchy tannins and bright acidity

Winemaking Process: Aged for 13 months in French barrels.
