Vintage: 2022 |100% Organic Mencía | Aging: 10 months |Limited Edition
The Xestal Mencía is an author wine that originates from the San Miguel plot, in the municipality of Arganza. Coming from strictly organic farming at altitudes of up to 750 metres, this wine combines the freshness of the mountains with the complexity of noble aging. With a production of only 8,000 bottles, the Xestal 2022 is a commitment to quality and character, offering a mature, smoky, and deeply balanced Mencía.
Precision Aging: Its 10 months in French oak barrels do not mask the fruit, but rather provide structure, smoky notes, and a sweet tannin that makes it irresistible.
Franco-Calcareous Terroir: The calcareous soil of San Miguel imparts an elegance and aromatic persistence that distinguishes this wine from other reds in the area.
Sustainable Viticulture: Produced respecting the natural cycles of the vineyard, ensuring an honest and pure expression of the land.
Visual Phase: Intense cherry red colour with a violet rim that denotes its excellent preservation and youth.
Olfactory Phase: A complex and persistent nose. The fruity notes of ripe currant stand out in perfect harmony with elegant smoky nuances from its time in barrel. Gustatory Phase:
On the palate it is light and fluid, with a background of sweet tannin and a freshness that masterfully balances its alcohol content. It is a long and very pleasant wine. Why choose Xestal Mencía?
Due to its structure and smoky notes, Xestal is the ideal companion for:
Red Meats:
Grilled ribeye, Iberian secreto, or entrecôte with pepper. Chuletón a la brasa, secreto ibérico o entrecot con pimienta.
Stews of the Land: Lentils with chorizo, casseroles or stewed meats.
Platter of Cured Meats: Extra quality Cecina de León and Iberian ham.
Cured Cheeses: Pairs sublimely with the Vallelongo Black Cow Cheese, where the smoky notes of the wine intertwine with the depth of the cheese.
