Descripción
Pétalos del Bierzo se presenta como un vino jovial y fragante que transmite a la perfección todos los matices de la región del Bierzo: viñas viejas cultivadas en tierras de pizarra escarpadas y rocosas de las se extrae lo mejor de la Mencía. Su añada 2011 fue nombrada por Parker el mejor vino de España en cuanto a su relación calidad/precio. Esta añada 2012 se sigue presentando como un gran vino con una frescura sorprendente, con sus toques minerales característicos, y una finura y equilibrio tremendamente agradables al paladar.

Opinión de los críticos
"At the end of the day, if I really have to recommend a wine from this collection, the one I’d buy for my cellar, it will be the 2011 Petalos del Bierzo. It is 95% Mencia mixed in the field with 3% of white grapes and the rest Alicante Bouschet and other reds, fermented after de-stemming in open wood and inox vats and aged ten months in French barrels, of which 20% are new. Eighty percent of the grapes are grown on slate in the Corullon vineyards, with different altitudes and orientations, and the remaining 20% come from clay soils from the valley. It all adds to the complexity of the wine. The wine is very aromatic and flowery (violets), almost heady, with clear notes of blueberries and licorice. The oak is perfectly integrated, almost imperceptible, save for a touch of spices and a lactic hint denoting a very young wine. It has a medium body, with a thick silky texture, is very tasty, with some acidic strawberry flavors. This is one of my go-to wines at restaurant lists, as it offers very good value for money and is widely available in Spain (and elsewhere, I hope!), as 320,000 bottles were produced. This could very well be the best Petalos produced to date. Drink now through 2019".

Demasiado alcohólico. Bajo mi punto de vistaeste vino ha ido perdiendo calidad año tras año. No repito
