Mixtura Blue 2021

The floral and aromatic 2021 Mixtura Blue, identified with a black label and a dash of blue on a corner, was produced with Mencía grapes from a vineyard in Bierzo, a 60-year-old plot in the zone of Cacabelos. It fermented with 100% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in well-seasoned and neutral 225-liter oak barrels. It matured in the barrels for one year and spent a further year in Austrian oak foudre. It has notes of wild berries and herbs with a spicy twist and is very showy and attractive. It's medium-bodied, spicy and fresh, with notes of acid berries and spice, very fine tannins and a tasty, long and clean finish. 3,319 bottles were filled in August 2023.
