Several years ago, Jose decided to recuperate his parents’ vineyards in Bierzo and now works 22 hectares of vines. ‘Aires de Vendimia’ is 55% destemmed and foot-crushed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged on the fine lees in used French oak. Notes of black fruits, strawberries, pepper, and fresh herbs dominate the palate.
