Bernardo Estévez and Xico Mandín "Mandín" Tinto 2023 is a red wine produced by the winery Bernardo Estévez in Pereira, Ourense. This wine is a collaboration between two major figures in Galician wine, resulting in a very personal project, far from trends.
The wine is a blend of Sousón, Mencía, and Tinta Amarela. Vineyard work follows the principles of natural agriculture, with minimal intervention and trust in the rhythms of the ecosystem. The grapes come from two high-altitude vineyards in Pereira, known as “O Montiño” and “A Cañada”.
In the winery, the same approach is followed: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 9 months on the lees, which adds texture and character without losing its Atlantic identity.
