Viñedos Singulares, Corral del Obispo, Bierzo, Castilla y Léon, Spain 2020

Barcelona-based brothers Luís and Carlos Barrero teamed up with winemaker Raúl Pérez to make this brilliant-value version of Mencía from Bierzo. Using 60- to 90-year-old vines, it positively sings with violet-floral aromas, the palate reminiscent of Cabernet Franc or the more fragrant end of Syrah in its crunchy black berries, currants and subtle aniseed spiciness.
