    Winemaker Notes

    Family owned and operated since 1890, the Broco family has what are considered to be the oldest and most sought after vines in the Bierzo D.O. Sourced exclusively from their oldest single vineyard vines 100+ years old this wine is unfiltered to maintain the fullest integrity and purity. Aromas of red and dark berry fruits accentuated by cacao and peppery spices. On the palate explosive, concentrated dark berry flavors give way to an incredibly long and focused finish.

    Vina Broco, Spain
    Vina Broco Winery Image
    Since 1890, the Broco family has been producing Mencia from what are considered to be the oldest and finest vines in all of the Bierzo DO. The winery is located in the town of Parandones just north of Toral de los Vados. The Rio Cua runs directly through the area. Despite cultivating vines for over 100 years, the family has never commercialized its own wines, but rather has supplied prestigious wineries from throughout the region. When Spanish Vines approached Antonio Broco, the fourth generation farmer and vineyard proprietor asking to bring his single vineyard Mencia to the United States that would carry the family name, the farmer was honored. Vina Broco is a purist style from the region, completely unfiltered and unoaked and is fermented in original cement tanks. The vineyard practices organic viticulture.

    Primarily found in the Bierzo, Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras regions of Spain and in the Dão of Portugal (where it is called Jaen), Mencia is an early ripening, low acid grape that can produce wines of great concentration, complexity and ageability. And yet Mencia once suffered from a poor reputation and deemed capable of producing simple and light red wines. Post-phylloxera growers would grow this variety on low, fertile plains, which produced high yields and uncomplicated finished wines. Somm Secret—The recent rediscovery of the ancient, abandoned vines planted on rugged hillsides of deep schist has unveiled the potential of Mencia and added discredit to its old reputation.

    One of the few northwestern Spanish regions with a focus on a red variety, Bierzo, part of Castilla y León, is home to the flowery and fruity Mencia grape. Mencia produces balanced and bright red wines full of strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, baking spice, pepper and black licorice. The well-drained soils of Bierzo are slate and granite.
