The 2021 Encinas feels cleaner and less reductive than previous years but still has the earthy rusticity that seems to define Graillot's wines from Bierzo. It comes from three local growers on granite soils (and just a little bit of slate), fermented with 100% full clusters in concrete and matured in a new 5,000-liter troncoconic oak foudre. The wine has clout and concentration despite being only 13% alcohol, and it has lovely rusticity that should make it age nicely. Some 6,500 bottles. ... More details

Winery
Two winemaking legends pool their resources and knowledge on this pleasantly rustic Mencía blend. Black fruits, pepper, and game emerge from the glass while the supple texture make it a great pairing for roast lamb or grilled steak.

Region: Castilla Y Leon

Castilla y Leon is one of the oldest wine regions in Europe, and is a fascinating area for those passionate about the finest Spanish wines. For centuries, Castilla y Leon has attracted attention, due to its fascinating history, stunning architecture and interesting food and wine traditions. The vast plain of Castilla y Leon has developed a culture which is all its own, and the wines which have been made for centuries in the historic wineries of the region do all they can to reflect this. As such, many of the most distinctively 'Spanish' wines of the country hail from this region, including those made with classic Spanish grapes, such as the robust and spicy Tempranillo, or the more fruity, aromatic white Verdejo and Viura varietals.

Country: Spain

For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.
