Cesar Marquez ‘Valtuille’ Mencía 2023

R480.00

Valtuille 2023 is César Márquez’s Mencía from Bierzo, named for the village at the heart of his work. It forms part of a range that explores the region at different scales, from Parajes to individual vineyard sites.

In stock

A young winemaker from one of Bierzo’s most respected wine families — nephew of Raúl Pérez — who launched his own label in 2015 after working in Mendoza with the Michelini brothers. Márquez farms parcels of 100-year-old bush-vine Mencía (with some Garnacha Tintorera interplanted), aiming to build a Burgundy-inspired, site-by-site classification for Bierzo. Winemaking is hands-off: partial destemming, open- barrique fermentation, long post-fermentation maceration, and 12 months in old barrels without racking. Origin-focused, low-intervention Mencía from a next-generation talent quietly redefining site expression in Bierzo.
