100% Mencia
I found another vintage of La Lamas to share with you all. This is the back vintage of 2010.
Las Lamas 2010 is a serious wine with explosive fruit, violets, and ripe fruit. Dark fruit, fine tannin and good acidity on the palate. Extremely balance!
Descendientes de Jose Palacios is founded by Alvaro Palacio, a famous winemaker in Priorat (L'Ermita) and his nephew Ricardo Perez. They both believe the potential of local grapes variety - Mencia in Bierzo. Ricardo embraced biodynamic viticulture. He farms animals provide fertilizer and workforce of viticulture. He also grows vegetables and fruit. As a result, five remarkable wines produce and yet gain the attention of wine lovers around the world.
