Cerro Negro 2019 is a very unique red Mencia wine. It opens a new precedent in its universe since its plot "El Masecillo" is at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level in DO Valencia. It is probably the highest Mencía in the Iberian Peninsula. Unlike the Galician and Leonese Mencías, Cerro Negro has a markedly Mediterranean profile thanks to its climate and the undergrowth that surrounds it. Its vines are rooted on compacted calcareous silts in the form of fractured strata that offer the plant the possibility of deepening its roots in a staggered way, absorbing an evident minerality. Its harvest by hand allows us to select a percentage of clusters that at the time of the incubation enter with their stem to fermentation,With this technique and careful aging in barrels and steel tanks, we create a gastronomic wine with a great aromatic opening and balance.

We define our oenology as low intervention . Both for the production of white, rosé, sparkling and red wines, we do not add the legal options of adjuvant products allowed for the production of wine. This decision is based on the belief that food technology standardizes wine, detracts from its originality.

Our search in the vineyard is to assist the vines to materialize robust and vibrant grapes expressing their origin. In the winery we respect and accept without complexes what the terroir gives us . We are aware that the quality of the vineyard is closely related to the degree of effort that we were able to put into the field from pruning to harvest. We do not believe that there are bad terroirs, they all have potential, beauty, our job is to let it express itself in the grape, and not alter it in the winery.
