After three months aging in oak barrels and nearly one year in the bottle, we recently marketed our first Casal de Furcos mencía barrica. It is a red wine hundred per cent made of selected mencía grapes coming from old vines and with a limited edition of five thousand bottles. It has got fruity aromas and a good structure in the mouth, ideal for enjoying combined with smoked meets, roast dishes and creamy cheese.

This year´s harvest has started a bit late for our cellar due to the strange climate we had during the summer. It did not affect though to the quality of the grapes as the late ripening brought aromas and a good grade. It took us around two weeks to harvest our seven hectares of vineyards. picking up 150.000 kilograms of grapes as part of Valdeorras appellation of origin.
