Godelia Mencia 2018

A celebration of Mencía. The subtlety and elegance are in the variety, the fruit, and the flowers.

Subtlety, elegance, and freshness. These qualities make it a very pleasant wine to drink, capable of conquering all kinds of palates. No wonder then that it is Godelia’s best-selling wine. It comes from old vineyards from different places and has been aged 12 months in French oak barrels, which for us means the landscape of El Bierzo in a bottle. In this way, we raise the Mencía to its maximum expression without the oak covering it up. The important thing is the variety of fruit and flower nuances.

Strict and meticulous selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Thermal treatment of the grapes during the process at 10ºC. Manual sorting table. Gentle de-stemming. Vinification of plots separately in stainless steel 150 hl tanks at 25ºC. Macerations adjusted to the potential of each variety and plot. Fermentation and maceration with the skins 18 to 22 days.

12 month crianza aged in 400 litre French oak barrels.
