Joaquín Rebolledo Mencía

Joaquín Rebolledo · D.O. Valdeorras · A Rúa

Cherry red with violet edges, medium to high depth, clean and bright. Red fruit on the nose (blackberry and raspberry) with darker forest berries, violet and elderflower, a note of cocoa spice and hints of chalk and slate. Tasty, fresh and fleshy on the palate, with good unctuousness and a long, fruity finish.

Pairs with: Grilled octopus, secreto ibérico and Galician meat empanada. Its red fruit, freshness and moderate tannin suit lighter meats and traditional Galician cooking.

Winemaking

100% Mencía from the estate's own and closely managed vineyards in Fontei, Freixido, Trasdeirelas, Pedrazais, A Veiquiña, O Redondo and San Roque, hand-harvested into 15 kg boxes. Fermented for 10 days in stainless steel at 22–24 °C with the cap worked twice daily, then put through malolactic fermentation in steel before filtering and bottling. The winery notes its excellent balance between alcohol and acidity.

About Joaquín Rebolledo

Based in Valdeorras, in the north-east of Ourense province, the natural gateway into Galicia, a deep and fertile valley carved by the Sil River. Its 35 hectares of sun-facing vineyards grow on slate and clay soils among chestnut and olive trees. Forty years ago the Rebolledo family were pioneers in reviving the Godello grape, and today its Godello vines average 35 years old. The winery is equally known for Mencía, the great red grape of north-west Spain, and its young and oak-aged reds continue to win national and international awards.
