Finca Robledo extends around the winery, forming an extension of 60 hectares, where the Mencía variety, a native grape from the El Bierzo region, occupies most of the plantation area. Other varieties such as Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot complete a unique terrain that offers the best conditions for growing quality grapes. Its favorable northern orientation lengthens the vine's vegetative cycle in a relatively warm area, which allows us to obtain more aromatic and fresh wines, endowed with a longer life in the bottle. Their vineyard sits on a very deep alluvial soil, with abundant boulders that are very suitable to produce exquisite wines. Harvesting begins when the grapes are at the precise moment of maturity. In this way, thanks to the exhaustive control to which it is subjected throughout the vegetative period, to the selection in the field and the speed with which the harvest is carried out, it allows them to obtain a harvest with the optimum quality and degree. Starting from a rigorously controlled and selected vintage in the vineyard, this red wine was produced using the whole grain fermentation technique, as a system to obtain the maximum possible fruit expression. The berries are pressed before the drained must finishes the alcoholic fermentation and continues along with the must from the whole pressed grains. All this process is carried out at a low fermentation temperature and is refined with a gentle clarification and stabilization of the wine before bottling. This wine has a beautiful cherry red colour with violet tones. On the nose it offers great aromatic intensity, dominated by the series of red fruits (raspberries, cassis, and currant) and black fruits (blackberry and cherry), as well as tropical fruits (banana and pineapple), preserving the vegetal character of the Mencía variety. On the palate it is very pleasant, fresh, balanced, unctuous and long, with a very intense aromatic finish of fruit salad.
