Castro de Valtuille Mencía joven

Castro de Valtuille Mencía Joven is the newcomer at Bodegas Castro Ventosa. This remarkable Mencía comes as a surprise because, although it claims to be “joven” (young) on the label it is a blend of young Mencía and Castro de Valtuille Mencía, aged in oak; this is where not just its complexity comes from, but also its primary aromas. It is a delicious, expressive Mencía in its purest form. If this wine was to be tasted blind, then it would be full of surprises, revealing as it does such complexity with a host of nuances that result in the creation of a very ine wine of excellent quality. This Bierzo wine provides one of the best relections of the variety Mencía. It undergoes a careful elaboration process and a very short ageing in oak (even if it is a young wine).
