| Superstar Spanish winemaker Alvaro Palacios and his nephew, Ricardo Perez, had an affinity for the Bierzo AVA in northwest Spain, part of the Castilla y Leon region. They were intrigued by the region’s steep slopes and the slate and granite soils. Here the Mencia grape thrives. Mencia produces wines that are bright, juicy, soft and easy to drink. Think of it as a wine reminiscent of a mixture between French Cab Franc and Syrah. Petalos is a critic’s darling, always receiving high praise and scores. It is a mid-weight wine, easy to drink, easy on the budget wine with great character and balance. Petalos is always satisfying and a great value! |
| | ‣ "The 2022 Pétalos was produced with 85% Mencía, 10% white grapes and 5% other reds from over 90 hectares, 20% owned by them and the rest from 180 families. It fermented with some full clusters in oak and stainless steel vats and matured in barrels of different sizes for 10 months. It's clearly more Mediterranean, with notes of rockrose and other aromatic herbs, juicy and round, more fruit-driven, aromatic, velvety and very pleasant and easy to drink.” 93 Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Jun 2024
