The 2020 Lacima blends 73% Mencía with 27% other reds from seven sites across Bibei, Mendoia, and Val de Rodrigo. Made from 19 wines aged in barrels and foudres, it represents the essence of Val do Bibei. Compact and ripe, its tannins and oak integrate seamlessly. Slightly more mature than the others, it offers clear flavors, a smooth texture, and some oak grip. The 2020 is a Ribeira Sacra red with depth and length.

Varietal Mencia

Mencía, a distinguished red grape variety native to the northwestern region of Spain, particularly in Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra, offers wines of unique character and charm. Thriving in the region's steep terraced vineyards and slate-rich soils, Mencía produces wines acclaimed for their vibrant fruitiness and elegant structure. Mencía wines are known for their medium body, refreshing acidity, and flavors of red berries, plum, and subtle herbal undertones. With its silky texture and supple tannins, Mencía offers a delightful drinking experience that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats and hearty stews to charcuterie and tapas. As interest in Spanish red wines continues to rise, Mencía stands out as a shining star, captivating enthusiasts with its distinctive expression and unmistakable sense of place.

Country Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Region Galicia

The northern Spanish wine region of Galicia is a fascinating one indeed, and is most definitely a wine region to keep your eye on today and in the near future. Once an important center of viticulture and wine trade, Galicia suffered from a huge and devastating economic depression in the 19th century, leaving many of the vineyards untended and useless. However, the 20th century saw various organizations pour money into Galician wine making, thus rebooting the wine industry of this relative wet and windy region on the Atlantic coast. Today, the region is being celebrated for its superb and flavorful blended white wines, made from native grape varietals such as Albarino and Caino Blanca, and is continuing to rebuild itself and regain former glories.

Winery Notes

Enology and Viticulture: Sara Perez and Rene Barbier. Production: 125 cases produced Vineyards: The vineyards consist of old vines of more than 50 years, planted in fragmented slate soil with excellent drainage capacity. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 300 and 610 meters. Vineyard orientation is to the south and west. â€¢ Plantation density: 3300 vines per hectare. â€¢ Training system: Goblet â€¢ Production: 400-600 grams (average 1/2 kilo) per vine. â€¢ Grape variety: Mencia 2020 Vintage: The high temperatures, of historic proportions, caused a stop in the plant growth during the month of August. The scarce rainfall marked the harvest, and slowed the development of the vine, giving a more concentrated must and lower yields than average. The overall health of the grapes at the time of harvest was very good. Vinification: Harvest was conducted by hand using 10 kilo cases. A long period of picking the grapes started on the 17th of September and finished on the 10th of October.
