Kompleks og intens rødvin fra Bierzo.
Valeyo fra Mauro er et fantastisk eksempel på den udvikling, der i årevis har fundet sted på den spanske vinscene. En virkelig dejlig rødvin med fokus på terroir, frugt og elegance, men samtidig med flot intensitet og kompleksitet. Der arbejdes efter biodynamiske principper, og druerne til vinen kommer fra parceller i 650 meters højde.
Valeyo består primært af Mencia (95%), som tilfører masser af rød frugt, samt en vidunderlig floralitet til vinen. De sidste 5 % udgøres af Godello-druen, man primært kender fra fantastiske hvidvine fra feks. Galicien. Denne praksis med at iblande en mindre andel af en grøn drue til blendet, kendes også fra bla. Cotie-Rotie i Rhône. Det giver en fantastisk nerve og syre til vinen, der binder helhedsindtrykket flot sammen og tilfører yderligere et lag af kompleksitet til en i forvejen lækker og kompleks vin.

The varietal red 2022 Valeyo has a clear Mencía profile (it also has 5% Godello) and was sourced from the Miguel Rey three-hectare vineyard in the village of Valtuille de Arriba. The vines are at 650 meters above sea level on sandy soils and are worked organically and biodynamically but still not certified. The destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts, and after malolactic, the wine matured for one year in new and used 500-liter French oak barrels. It shows a combination of wild berries, herbs and flowers and has a medium-bodied palate with abundant tannins and some faint rusticity. It feels a little riper at 13.5% alcohol and has some oak notes to be integrated with some more time in bottle. 2022 was a warm and dry year in the zone, with very high temperatures in the summer, and they started picking very early, on August 28. The wine has a seductive and fragrant style with fine tannins and is round and without edges but keeping the tension and freshness, reflected by a pH of 3.6. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023.

The 2022 Valeyo is a 100% Mencía hailing from Valtuille de Arriba, Bierzo. The 2022 aged for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels, both new and used. It opens with aromas of pomegranate, violet, sour cherry, herbs and a touch of blood. Fruity and reductive in profile, the palate is broad, smooth and mid-weight, with fine, balanced tannins. Its moderate acidity and alcohol (13.5%) create a balanced, well-made, flavorful red.
