Paixar Viña de Vaca 2023
Descripción
Paixar Viña de Vaca representa la cumbre de la exclusividad y la artesanía enológica en el Bierzo. Esta singular etiqueta nace de apenas 950 cepas centenarias, plantadas en 1910 sobre las vertiginosas y escarpadas laderas de Dragonte, en Corullón. A 900 metros de altitud y con una inclinación del 60%, este viñedo de pizarra entrega una Mencía de una concentración y pureza extraordinarias. Criado con mimo durante 12 meses en barricas de roble francés tras una fermentación en fudre abierto, de este místico paraje solo ven la luz 666 botellas de colección. Un tinto de culto, reservado para los paladares que buscan la auténtica esencia artesanal de la viticultura heroica.

The second vintage of the single-vineyard wine from Dragonte is the 2023 Paixar Viña de Vaca, sourced from a small plot that was planted 90 to 100 years ago on slate soils at 800 meters above sea level on a steep slope surrounded by chestnut trees. It fermented in an oak foudre with indigenous yeasts and foot-trodden grapes and matured in a 500-liter barrel for 12 months. I've never smelled a wine like this from Luna Beberide. It's an explosion of flowers and wild herbs, bright and high-pitched, nuanced, elegant and complex. It has contained ripeness, 13% alcohol (lower than in 2022), and a pH of 3.36 and 5.16 grams of acidity. The palate is super elegant and fine-boned, precise and fresh, with a spark that I didn't see in any other wine. Bravo! Only 574 numbered bottles were produced and filled in March 2025. As they keep recovering the vines, they hope to slowly increase the volumes.
A beautifully delicate, ethereal expression of Bierzo with red cherry fruit, rose petal and a fine talc-like perfume. The wine displays the typical monte bajo undergrowth character of the vineyard site, and is layered with dried herbs which open to a crunchy cranberry and pomegranate backbone. The wine is completed by time in oak, setting it up for long aging. This is a poised and detailed wine full of nuance. 2025-2031
