Bierzo DO La Faraona 2022 Descendientes de Jose Palacios

La Faraona is a red wine from the Bierzo region of Spain, produced by Descendientes de J. Palacios with 100% Mencia grapes. A great wine that reveals all the beauty of its exceptional terroir, reflecting the essence of the Corullón vineyards, cultivated with biodynamic methods that respect the balance between soil, plant and human intervention. The vines are planted on steep slopes of ancient slate.

The vinification takes place in oak vats with regular punching down using indigenous yeasts, followed by a 48-day maceration for complete extraction. The malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously in the same oak vat and the refinement then continues for 11 months in vats and barrels.

On the nose this wine offers a deep and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, aromatic herbs and a hint of minerality that recalls the slate soil on which the vines grow. On the palate it is of great caliber, it reveals itself as juicy, fresh and endowed with an extraordinary depth and length.

It pairs perfectly with game dishes, roast red meats and mature cheeses.
