Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates A Ponte Vella from other Mencía from Bierzo?

It comes from old vines on slate soils and has an extended aging of 12-18 months in French oak. This gives it a complexity and elegance far superior to young Mencía.

How long can I keep this wine?

It has a potential ageing of 5-8 years from the vintage. It is currently at its optimal drinking moment, but will evolve positively in the bottle.

Should I decant it before serving?

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