Magnum Mencía wine Paixar "A Serra" Luna Beberide 1500 ml. Wooden box.

Paixar Magnum: The Summit of Dragonte in Reserve Format

Vintage: 2023 |D.O. Bierzo | Score: 98 Tim Atkin |Format: 1500 ml

The Paixar "A Serra" 2023 in Magnum (1.5 litres) is the choice of connoisseurs. Presented in an elegant wooden box, this double format is not only ideal for special celebrations, but also offers the perfect ratio of oxygen to liquid for this heroic viticulture wine to evolve with a finesse and complexity superior to the standard bottle. Born on the extreme slopes of Dragonte, at altitudes of up to 1,000 metres, Paixar is a single varietal Mencía that defines the concept of "cult wine".

• Magnum Advantage: The larger volume allows for a more gradual maturation in bottle, enabling the minerality of the slate and the tannins of the French oak to merge into an unparalleled silky texture.

• Extreme Terroir: Centenary vineyards cultivated on nearly impossible slopes over pure decomposed slate soils, giving it a wild yet elegant personality.

• 18 Months Ageing: A prolonged stay in barrel and its unfiltered bottling ensure that the wine retains all its soul and ageing potential.

Tasting Notes: Minerality, Spices and Elegance

• Visual Phase: Intense and deep cherry colour, with a high layer that denotes its great concentration.

• Olfactory Phase: A display of pure minerality, balsamic and spicy notes, with a clear memory of the underbrush and the flora of the Dragonte mountains.

• Gustatory Phase: On the palate, it is a robust, fleshy and complete wine. Its rustic personality is balanced with the innate elegance of Mencía, showing perfect balance thanks to the Atlantic influence of the 2023 vintage.

• Finish: Extraordinarily long and persistent, with an aftertaste that invites you to discover new nuances with each sip.
