Verónica Ortega Cobrana Red Wine 2023

Verónica Ortega Cobrana Tinto 2023 is a white wine produced by Verónica Ortega in Valtuille de Abajo, Bierzo, Castilla y León, Spain.

The wine is a field blend of Mencía, Palomino, Doña Blanca, Godello and other traditional local varieties sourced from a century-old vineyard planted on degraded slate and clay soils at 750 metres above sea level.

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts in a 5,000-litre open-top wooden truncated-cone vat. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place in 1,500-litre clay amphorae and 4,300-litre oak barrels.

The wine is then aged for 12 months in 1,500-litre amphorae and 4,300-litre oak barrels.

A precise and elegant wine with remarkable freshness, mineral character and depth, reflecting the unique terroir of Bierzo.
