A black cherry with intense violet hues coloured mature wine. Highlighted on the nose are ripe red fruits, minerals and blue flowers. Fine and exquisite on the palate as it is fleshy, fragrant, and full bodied.
100% Mencía sourced from 45 - 55 year old vines. Aged for 2 months in stainless steel tanks breeding on fine dregs and 2 months in bottle racks.
Bodegas Peique is a family run estate in the tiny village of Valtuille de Abajo in El Bierzo where it nestles on the slopes of El Castro de la Ventosa, an ancient pre-Roman archaeological site. Perhaps it is no surprise then, that in a land like this entire families are deeply committed to winemaking.
Bodegas Peique is no different and is the culmination of 90 years and 3 generations of hard work and winemaking expertise making wines from the highest quality old vine Mencia.
