Bodegas Peique Tinto Mencía is a mature, concentrated red Spanish wine with a nose of ripe red fruit and flowers.

The Peique wine-producing family story began in Valtuille de Abajo, a village of less than 200 people, located in the Bierzo area of León. They currently have 40 hectares of vineyards, and produce wines from a tradition that has lasted through three generations. The wines overall are a faithful and honest reflection of the Bierzo landscape.

Mencía is the most important grape variety in the vineyards of the Peique family, comprising 98% of the grapes used in the red wines. This wine is made from vines of between 45 and 55 years old.

Winemakers carry out the harvest manually. On the grapes’ arrival at the winery, they go through a pre-fermentation maceration for 3-5 days at a low temperature.

Maceration and alcoholic fermentation are carried out in stainless steel vats. After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for 2 months before bottling.

Enjoy Bodegas Peique Tinto Mencía with white meats, charcuterie, or legumes.
