Petalos Mencia Bierzo

Vintage 2023, Pétalos is the regional expression of Mencias from Bierzo. It’s mainly mountain mineral material from Corullon fruit (including de-classified material from the single vineyards), plus 20% high quality gear from clay hill-slope sites below Corullon. Aged 12 months in large older French oak (1-6 years old), it’s a great, accessible encapsulation of the DJP Mencia package. It is drawn from nearly 900 plots in the region - 200 owned by Ricardo and Alvaro, and the rest leased from 175 growers.
