Valtuille Cepas Centenarias | Castro Ventosa

Made from the Perez family’s oldest vineyards, these Mencía vines are over 100 years old and many are planted on their own rootstocks. It is dense, ripe, and very lengthy, with a lifted palate of peppery spice and minerality that are hallmarks of the variety. Unique, and a pleasure to drink.
