The red Alanda is a blend of Mencía, Bastardo (aka Merenzao or Trousseau), Garnacha Tintorera, plus a swig of the white Doña Blanca. The fruit is drawn from a mosaic of different high altitude organic vineyards spanning a myriad of soil types including slate, granite and clay. The resulting wine is therefore a kind of vinous mural of the Monterrei landscape. One-third of the grapes are de-stemmed and everything is co-fermented. The wine is aged for 13 months in used oak barrels and six months in vat before bottling.

Reviews

“The red 2016 Alanda Tinto is a blend of Mencía, Bastardo and Garnacha Tintorera from different vineyards with different soils in different parts within Monterrei, fermented together with some full clusters and matured in barrique, stainless steel and concrete vats for 13 months. It has the freshness of 2016 and a fine thread on the palate with fine-grained tannins. It's serious and austere, nothing sweet or fancy here, with the granite personality.”
