{"product_id":"2022-veronica-ortega-quite-bierzo-do-spain","title":"2022 Veronica Ortega Quite Bierzo DO Spain","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Verónica Ortega Quite from the Bierzo DO in Spain is made from 100% Mencía sourced from old vines, some nearly a century old, in the village of Valtuille de Abajo. The vines grow in clay and sandy soils interlaced with quartzite and slate, giving the wine its distinctive mineral depth. Hand-harvested and destemmed, the grapes undergo a short maceration before aging for about nine months, primarily in large French oak vats with a portion in clay amphorae and used barrels. The nose opens with aromas of fresh red and black berries, wildflowers, and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, it is vibrant and medium-bodied, with fine chalky tannins and a lively, mineral-driven finish. This elegant yet approachable Mencía pairs beautifully with grilled pork, wild mushroom stews, and aged semi-hard cheeses, making it an ideal wine for both casual and refined dining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gran Fondo","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":50994700157239,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/0918\/2263\/files\/14270634-1-1707513183.webp?v=1751069129","url":"https:\/\/www.brentwoodfinewines.com\/products\/2022-veronica-ortega-quite-bierzo-do-spain","provider":"Brentwood Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
