Arganza Premium Lagar de Robla comes from the Bierzo region, in the Northwest of Spain. The wine is made from the Mencia variety that tends to produce light, crunchy, red-fruited wines. Grapes are hand harvested from a combination of estate vineyards and some long-term growers. Each plot is harvested separately to ensure grapes are picked at the ideal time. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a period of around 18 months of maturation in American oak barrels prior to release.
