Winemaker
José Antonio García works with Bierzo's old vineyard heritage. His approach values the local growers, small parcels and long-established vines that give the area its identity.

Wine
Corullón centres on Mencía from old vines around the village. Cherry fruit and a floral lift, with a savoury undertone and fine grip. Mencía can give a red that feels both immediate and layered. Pour with roast pork, mushrooms or vegetables cooked over fire, and let it open gradually.

Origin
Corullón lies in Bierzo, in northwestern Spain. Slate and other stony soils occur across its hillside vineyards, with both Atlantic and inland influences on the climate. The cooler rhythm helps Mencía hold fragrance and freshness alongside its darker fruit.
