Product Description
Details
Born in the DO Bierzo, Corral del Obispo is a varietal Mencía made from 60 to 90-year-old, low-yielding vines located in the town of Valtuille (León).
The maceration and alcoholic fermentation of this Spanish red wine was carried out in wooden casks and steel tanks. After that, this red wine from El Bierzo by Viñedos Singulares was aged in 5,000-litre French oak vats for 6 months. It was bottled unfiltered.
Excellently priced, Corral del Obispo 2020 is a perfect introduction to the Mencía variety.

Unimpeachable red wine. Interesting grape, halfway between tempranillo and Pinot.
