Product Description
Details
The red wine Mauro Valeyo is the debut release in the DO Bierzo of Bodegas Mauro, the wine project of the prestigious oenologist Mariano García.
This single vineyard Spanish red wine is made from Mencía and a 5% Godello, sourced from a 3-hectare biodynamically farmed plot planted at 650 metres above sea level, near the village of Valtuille de Arriba.
The grapes were vinified in concrete diposits with native yeasts. This red wine from El Bierzo was then transferred into new and used 500-litre French oak barrels, where it was aged for 12 months. The red wine Mauro Valeyo 2021 was bottled in December 2022.
After that, this Crianza red wine was kept in the cellar for 12 months minimum before being released onto the market.
11,866 bottles produced.
