£40.95
Sold Out

'Pizarra' displays a pronounced intensity of fruit and aromatic complexity that is defined by violet florals, nuanced spice, and a distinctive slate-driven character. On the palate, it is structured and well-balanced, with polished tannins and a long, persistent finish. Oak integration is precise, contributing subtle spice and warmth without overshadowing the varietal purity of the fruit.

Pizarra is the estate’s most renowned production. It is crafted primarily from Mencía sourced from Carballocobo, the winery’s most iconic vineyard site, complemented by Brancellao and Caíño from Abeleda—two fresh and complex varieties that enrich the blend’s aromatic and structural profile. The vines grow on soils composed of slate, granite, and quartz, with a south-facing orientation for the Mencía and a west-facing exposure for the Brancellao and Caíño. Cultivation follows a trellis system under principles of sustainable viticulture.
