Mengoba Tinto 2019

Bordeaux-born Grégory Pérez worked at Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Château Cos d’Estournel before he moved to Spain. He settled down in Bierzo where he works vineyards in Espadillo. In this mountainous area soils are mostly clay and decomposed slate. His wines are made based on eight key principles: soil knowledge, biodiversity protection, indigenous grapes, no aggressive treatments, no herbicides, low yields, selection of grapes in the vineyard and traditional winemaking and aging. Following those who describe Bierzo as a blend of Burgundy and Rhone, we will locate Mengoba on the Rhone side. It has a more rustic profile, plenty of earthiness and meaty notes. The palate has more tannins and there is more ripeness than the other labels.
