The red wines (all made from 100% Mencia) begin with the 2010 Tinto made from 45 year old vines and aged sur lie for 2 months in tank. Boysenberry, black cherry, and assorted spices compose the bouquet of this straightforward, savory, ripe offering. This leads to a slightly lean, medium-bodied, easy-going wine that finishes with no hard edges. Drink this friendly offering over the next 1-2 years.
Bodegas Peique is a 22 acre estate in the village of Valtuille de Abajo that began producing its own wine in 1999.
