Cesar Marquez Parcelas del Bierzo Mencia Parajes 2023

From 45 different vineyard parcels across nine Bierzo villages comes this remarkable blend of old-vine Mencía with traditional varieties. Some vines exceed 140 years in age, contributing depth and complexity to the final cuvée. Split fermentation—part stainless steel, part concrete—followed by 12 months in oak barrels of various sizes creates a wine of moderate ripeness, freshness, and impressive balance. One of Bierzo's most precise winemakers.
