// 85% Mencia, 8% Alicante Bouschet, 7% white grapes and others varieties.
"This 2024 El Castro de Valtuille is crafted from pure Mencia, sourced from the family's ancient vine holdings spanning Valtuille, Cacabelos, and Villafranca. A precise and focused expression, it displays a sophisticated reductive character alongside vibrant notes of fresh violet and a succulent, juicy core. The wine is defined by its remarkable tension and a delicate, fine-boned texture that carries through to a floral-inflected finish. Wonderfully primary and full of energy." - Alimentaria, Importer
"The 2024 El Castro de Valtuille is 100% Mencía from the estate’s old vineyards in Valtuille, Cacabelos and Villafranca. This is a precise, technically made wine with a reductive edge, fresh violet notes and a juicy palate. It offers tension and a fine, transparent texture, with violet lingering on the finish. This is primary and expressive. (Drink between 2025-2035)" - 92 Points, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous
