Pago de Valdoneje El Rapolao 2019
Descripción
Este monovarietal captura el alma de la Mencía más clásica del Bierzo. Las uvas pertenecen a un viñedo con cepas con casi 100 años dando lugar a uvas de máxima concentración aromática. Su privilegiada ubicación sobre suelos arcillosos con cantos rodados y el clima continental con influencia atlántica logran que la Mencía exhiba su seductor perfume en plenitud manteniendo una óptima acidez que lo convierte en un tinto fresco, elegante y aromático.

Opinión de los críticos
The new kid on the block this time is the 2019 El Rapolao, from one of the best-known crus of Valtuille, because there are different producers making wine from it and selling it with the name of the place. The one from Vinos Valtuille comes from two plots that have been in the family and have a northern exposition. It fermented 50% in used barrels with full clusters and 50% destemmed in stainless steel. It matured in used 225-liter French oak barrels for eight months. It has moderate ripeness, lower alcohol than the majority of its siblings (13.6%) and more freshness and acidity. It feels more elegant and has more harmony and less rusticity than the rest of the range, with some notes of iron and fine tannins. 1,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020.
Delicado en boca pero delicioso y persistente
