Verónica Ortega ROC 2016

After working at the Priory of Daphne Glorian (Clos Erasmus) and Álvaro Palacios and spending a few years working in France, Burgundy (at Domaine de la Romanée Conti and Comte Armand) and in the River Valley? Dano Norte, Domaine Combier, Verónica Ortega returned to Spain to carry out their own project, specifically in the Bierzo region.

In some places, such as Bierzo, the old vines have been preserved and the Mencía variety is one of this Cadiz winemaker's favorite grapes. The steps to starting a big project were in this area of ​​León, and this adds to Verónica's great experience.

Its wines are artisanal, with spontaneous fermentation and low sulfur content. Like the vineyard, worked manually following the precepts of organic farming. The plots where they make their wines are mainly old Mencía vineyards, but as is common in Bierzo, there is a very small proportion of local varieties, both white and red, mixed in the vineyard, from Alicante Bouchet, Merención, Jerez.
