  Pombeiras is the coolest climate single site. 70-year-old vines planted on granite and quartz. Fermented in large 20-year-old 'Cuba' French oak with 10% stems, all whole bunches, for 60 days, then aged 10 months in 5-year-old 500l French barrels. Pombeiras means 'pigeons'. 800 bottles produced in 2021.
  
  80% Mencia / 20% Local varieties (Caiño, Sousón, Merenzao, Brancellao).
  
  Delicate nose of violet, wild herb, earth and soy sauce. Wild cherry, pomegranate. Light and elegant. Not at all what I expected. A joy!
