The Val Todil Young red wine is elaborated from first quality mencia variety grapes, which are carefully selected from our controlled vineyards in Valtuille de Abajo, in the region of El Bierzo. The grapes are manually harvested and stored in boxes of 15 Kg maximum, and they reach the winery in less than 2 hours. The grapes are placed in containers according to the traditional technique: the sticks are removed and the grapes crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers under a controlled temperature.
The strictly controlled processes, from cultivation of grapes to packaging, assure a high quality young red wine.
Its colour is intense cherry red
The intensity of the aromas could be rated as medium-high. It presents primary aromas which are typical of the Mencía variety: red fruits, blackberries, black raspberries, mineral aromas.
The feeling in the mouth is that of a balanced wine, round, with a good sense of body, a wine that incorporates all its main components (tannins, acid and alcohol) in a very balanced way, but with an acid trait related to its youthfulness.
It should be tasted fresh, but not cold, at a temperature of about 14º and it will perfectly fit with consistent food such as different sorts of cheese, sausages, vegetables, meat dishes...
