Bierzo

About this region

A sheltered mountain valley in north-west Castilla y León, transitional between Galicia's wet Atlantic and the dry meseta. Mencía gives fragrant, fresh, slate-driven reds, while Godello makes mineral whites. Old hillside vines on slate are the source of its finest, terroir-focused bottlings.
