Details and technical informations about Winery Ruchel's Mencía Crianza.
Discover the grape variety: Verdesse
Crisp, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden colour, a slender palate and preserved acidity, showing delicate aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), white fruits (apple, pear) and alpine mineral notes. A crystalline mountain character. Very rare, preserved by a handful of Dauphiné growers for its heritage value, in confidential high-altitude cuvées. Indigenous French variety of Isère and the Dauphiné, a witness to ancient Alpine grape varieties.

Also premium Godello (pear, citrus, butter), aromatic Treixadura. Supple Mencia reds (raspberry, herbs, graphite).
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
