Verónica Ortega Kinki 2021

Description

Verónica Ortega Kinki is a red wine elaborated with Mencía, Godello, Doña Blanca and Palomino Fino by the Verónica Ortega winery within the Bierzo DO.
The grapes come from an old Mencía vineyard located in the village of Cobrana with an age between 90 and 100 years old and the other grapes such as Doña Blanca, Palomino and Godello are local varieties. These vineyards have been goblet-planted on red clay and decomposed slate soils at an altitude of 750 metres.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand cluster by cluster at their optimum ripening point and transported in 18-kilo crates to protect the quality of the grapes. In this case, 100% of the whole bunches are used in open truncated cone-shaped wooden vats of 3,000 litres, fermenting the different red and white varieties and macerating only part of the skins for about 10 days.
Afterwards, the wine is aged for 7 months in a combination of French oak barrels and 800-litre earthenware amphorae, which preserve the fresh, light profile of this wine. Finally, the wine is lightly filtered before bottling to remove the coarser particles.
