Veronica Ortega, Quite 2021

Place: Bierzo, Spain

Grape: Mencía

Vibe: Too Easy

Veronica's entry level wine, which somehow still comes off 80 year old vines?! Bierzo is just full of them, apparently, which is good news for everyone. This is gorgeous, all sweet brambly fruit offset by capsicum and a hint of smoke and liquorice. Far too easy to drink. 'Dar un quite' is an old bullfighting term Veronica learned from her father, meaning to give a helping hand. Like I'm doing for you, bringing you this wine. Ya welcome. ABV: 13%
