Development and Aging

Made with Mencia grapes obtained from old vines, with an average of 35 years old, planted on the slopes of the river Sil. It has a step of about 10 months in French oak barrels four years, not to alter the personality of the different grapes and plots with which the wine is made.

Curiosities:
