History
Bestizo was created in 2024 to be the reason why we meet again.
Bestizo is the bridge that connects stories, bridges distances and is a
meeting point. It is the first red wine of Bodegas Emilio Moro El Bierzo,
and it has come to highlight the Mencia grape, as a symbol of our
evolution and to make it clear that we are more and more 'bercianos'
(natives of El Bierzo).
Tasting notes
Cherry red in colour, the bouquet is fresh and elegant, with a
predominance of red and stone fruit: peach and cherry. It also has
delicate spicy and floral notes. In the mouth it is light and balanced,
with a pleasant palate, full of personality, with a mild and very pleasant
aftertaste.
Vinification
Made from MencÃa grapes. Fermented for 7 days in 25,000L tanks
with a 12-day maceration. It is produced with a submerged cap, with
no pumping-over. It undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless
steel tanks and is subsequently aged for 8 months in 2,500-litre vats
until bottling.
Vintage
The year was marked by an unusual rainfall pattern. 2023 began with a
spring of mild temperatures and a rainy June, which encouraged good
vine growth and ample water reserves in the soil for the summer, which
was dry and somewhat hot. The grapes reached the ripening period
with a good balance between alcohol potential and ripeness. They were
harvested in good weather, which ensured their excellent health.
