“This east-facing, sunny site on clay soils was planted between 1930 and 1936, during the Second Republic. The wine it produces, another Mencia field blend, uses 100% stems with a short 25-day maceration, and is aged in neutral oak. It has seductive aromas of fine cedar, violets and roses. The palate is very flavoursome and generously plump, full of expressive bramble fruits and an underlying lively line of acid. It's the most immediately approachable of the Vizcaina range.” - 93 PTS, DECANTER (02/2019)
