It is the reference of more production of the winery. It is made with 100% Mencía destemmed and fermented after a short cold pre-fermentative maceration. Of cherry red colour and medium depth, it is a limpid and brilliant wine. On the nose, once the reductive notes typical of the variety have disappeared, the explosion of red fruit (raspberry, cherry…) and black berries (blackberry) appears, which together with the milky notes reminds us of lollipops (strawberry lollipops). Mineral notes very present (graphite). The attack on the palate is fresh, but as it travels through the mouth we find an enveloping, sweet wine that reflects the good relationship between acidity and glycerin.
