Versos de Valtuille Vino de Villa 2021

The 2021 Valtuille Mata Los Pardos is another paraje red from two plots of old vines planted with the classical Valtuille field blend of Mencía and other red and white varieties, including some Bastardo, Sousón and Estaladiña, on sand and clay soils. It all fermented together with 15% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in 7,500-liter oak vats without the addition of any oenological products. This is a place close to Villegas but with more weight and darker fruit. It's serious and elegant, with concentration and balance. A serious Valtuille. It matured in used 500-liter French oak barrels. 1,700 bottles were filled in February 2023. - Luis Gutiérrez.
