Produced from biodynamically farmed small hillside parcels of old vine Mencia grown in rocky slate soil around the village of Corrullin, Petalos has been a long time favorite. And it just seems to get better and better with each year.
2013 Vintage Scores:
#53 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2015
Always among the best values of Spain, the 2013 Pétalos del Bierzo has an extra degree of freshness in a cool vintage, and some time in bottle always does this wine wonders. It’s aromatic, open and expressive, with floral aromas and bright fruit, wild strawberries and violets. This is always a subtle, medium-bodied wine, with fine tannins, sleek acidity and a fine minerality. Ready now. This should be readily available as there were some 380,000 bottles produced.”
