Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for it to be a wine from recovered vineyards?

La Recuperada comes from the project of Luna Beberide to rescue ancient abandoned vineyards from Bierzo. They are historical plots of Mencía that are being recovered to offer unique character wines.

How long can I keep this wine?

It has a potential ageing capacity of 5-8 years from the vintage. It is currently at an excellent moment for consumption, but it will evolve positively in the bottle.

Should I decant it before serving?

Yes, we recommend decanting it 30-40 minutes before serving at 16-18 degrees. This allows the wine to breathe and express all its aromatic and mineral complexity.
