Red Wine Avancia Cuvée de O Mencía 2018

A varietal Mencía red wine, Avancia Cuvée O de Mencía is produced by Bodegas Avancia, a company owned by Jorge Ordóñez.

The grapes come from two vineyards, one planted in 1920 and the other in 1935. Located at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level, they are oriented to the south and have slate soils.

Made in DO Valdeorras, this Spanish red wine was vinified in a meticulous manner. First, the grapes were hand-harvested, selected and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts.

After that, Avancia Cuvée O de Mencía 2018 was pressed and then transferred into used French oak  barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 8 months on lees. The wine was not filtered before bottling.

We suggest that you decant this red wine from Valdeorras at least 20 minutes before drinking.
