Jose Antonio Garcia "Unculin Tinto" 2019, Bierzo

one stone at a time · vin de soif · vino de villa

Working out of the heart of Bierzo, Valtuille de Abajo, Julia Pena and Jose Antonio Garcia have restored 80-120 year old mencia vines to produce mineral driven mencía in contrast to some of the weightier styles of reds that hail from the region.  The 2018 vintage was exceptional, a perfect vehicle for Jose’s fresh, minimalist approach.
