WINE DESCRIPTION
Veronica Ortega Quite Mencia is a red wine produced by Veronica Ortega, a renowned winemaker from Bierzo, Spain. The wine is made from the Mencia grape variety, which is grown in the region's unique slate soils. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which allows for slow ripening and the development of complex flavors. The winemaking process is focused on minimal intervention, with natural yeasts and low sulfur usage. The resulting wine is elegant and balanced, with notes of red fruit, spices, and a subtle minerality. It is a great representation of the terroir and the winemaker's philosophy.
