  • Sourced from a tiny 0.3ha high-altitude vineyard in Corullón at 710 metres, this cuvée is defined by its slate soils and striking freshness. The highest site in the range, it delivers a more linear, mineral-driven expression of Mencía. Bright red fruits, crushed stone and lifted floral notes lead into a taut, energetic palate with fine acidity and a distinctly saline edge. The slate imparts precision and clarity, giving the wine a chiselled, almost Burgundian feel. A vibrant, high-altitude expression that showcases Bierzo’s (and Mencia's) cooler, more refined side.

  • “The 2023 Pico Ferreira comes from a lieu-dit in the village of Corullón, a northwest-facing, shady slope planted with centenary vines on slate soils. It fermented with 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in 1,000-liter vats with 21 days of maceration and matured in a 1,200-liter oak vat and 600-liter barrels for one year. This is a little more discrete and remained closed after being in the glass for a while, whereas the other wines opened up. It comes in at 12.98% alcohol, with a pH of 3.57 and 5.36 grams of acidity, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. 1,980 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025.” 97 points Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
