- Description
- Grapes, Region, etc.
Puerto del Monte means “mountain pass” and the label is inspired by the peaks of Las Médulas in Bierzo glowing copper-red in the evening sun. Made by a young, dynamic team in an environmentally-friendly winery in the heart of the region, it is sourced from old Mencía vines of 45+ years grown on slopes at altitudes of 400-750m, before being aged for 2-3 months in oak to add softness and some spice without masking the bold fruit of the grapes.
The winery was founded in 1940 on the Camino de Santiago by a Valencian who fell in love with Bierzo and its possibilities for winemaking. In 2002, a new winery that honors the history, the environment and the rural landscape was built next to the vineyard, managed by a young, dynamic team.
