Personalised Puerto del Monte Mencia 2019 14% 750ml
The grapes are selected in the vineyard and harvested by hand at optimum phenolic ripeness. They undergo 48 hours of maceration at 8ºC. Alcoholic fermentation occurs over 6-10 days at 28ºC and malolactic over 5-9 days at 19ºC. The wine remains in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees for 2 months before ageing for 2-3 months in French and American oak barrels It is cold stabilized, clarified and filtered.
Puerto del Monte is sourced from old vine mencia grown at altitudes of 450-700 m.a.s.l., in the Bierzo DO, in north-western Spain. The winery was founded in 1940 on the Camino de Santiago by a Valencian who fell in love with Bierzo and its potential for winemaking. Puerto del Monte means “mountain pass” and the label is inspired by the peaks of Las Médulas in Bierzo, glowing copper-red in the evening sun.
