Descendientes De J Palacios

Petalos Del Bierzo

Around 91% Mencia, 8% white varieties and 1% other reds, fermented in open top oak and stainless steel with indigenous yeast, then aged 10 months in barriques and larger oak vats. A serious nose combining berry fruit with herbs and a liquorice twist, crushed mulberry and blackberry fruit, black olive, mountain herbs, pepper and paprika. Suave and harmonious on the palate, with supple, fine grained tannins and a minerally underpinning of smoke and crushed gravel driving a refined, long finish. Vinified for immediate appeal while retaining the estate's signature finesse and restraint, the wine that first set out to show what Bierzo could do.
