ELABORATION |

|
The wine Dominio de Tares Bembibre is produced from the Mencia grape variety grown in six vineyards of over 60 years. The vineyards are situated on terraces and slopes with 20% inclination. The soils are of decomposed gravel and slate. The yield per hectare is minimum and produces grapes of enormous concentration, adequate ripeness and great balance between concentration and acidity.
The harvest begins on 15th September and is done manually, placing the grapes in cases of 15 kilos.
Once the grapes are in the winery, the bunches are selected by hand, eliminating all those not complying in appearance or ripeness to the requested standards. After a slight pressing and total separation of stems, the process of maceration takes place during 25 days with daily intensive stirring favouring the extraction of aromas and polyphenols.
Once this process is over, the wine is transferred to American oak barrels (Missouri) in which the alcoholic fermentation is finalized and where the malolactic fermentation takes place with the lees.
During January it is further transferred to French oak barrels (Allier) for ageing during 15 months before bottling.

Mencía 100%
The Mencía grape can be seen as the axis around which all Bierzo wine making revolves. Few grape varieties better express the terroir of a region of calcareous clay and slate substrata. The “mineral” grape par excellence, until recently it was erroneously disdained for having poor ageing potential and lacking colour. Nothing could be further from the truth. Now enjoying unparalleled popularity, its combination of fruity and mineral characteristics, in harmony with the contribution of new French and American oak, have shot the Mencía grape into the limelight as a star in its own right. Mencía wines stand out on the international stage among other Spanish grape types for their elegance and individuality, along with the world’s very best. |

TASTING NOTES |
|
|
|
(Dominio de Tares "Bembibre" 2002) "Lush on the nose, with wild game, smoke, and blackberry filling every void. Almost Syrah-like in its weight, more so than the other Mencía wines that are making a statement. Which only means that it's chewy, chocolaty, and creamy... 91 points"
---Michael Schachner, The Wine Enthusiast, June 2005
(Dominio de Tares "Bembibre" 2002) "From select vineyard plots of almost 100-year-old vines, the licorice, mineral intensity of this red inspires oohs and aahs with every sip."
---Leslie Sbrocco, "Spain Reigns," The San Francisco Chronicle, February 10, 2005
(Dominio de Tares Bembibre Bierzo 2002) "Deep ruby-red. Black raspberry, black cherry, mint, herbs and roasted oak on the nose. Sweet, dense and a bit youthfully reduced, with round, spicy flavors of blackberry, coffee, minerals and herbs. At once serious and pretty. Finishes persistent and ripely tannic, with cool notes of menthol and herbs. A very successful wine for this cool vintage. 89 Points"
---Steve Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, September/October 2004
(Dominio de Tares, Bembibre 2002) - "Rich and powerful, yet perfectly balanced and focused. Black fruit flavors are supported by toast and coffee notes from oak; muscular tannins give structure without obtrusiveness. Though elegant, it has enough power to reward cellaring. 93 Points"
--- Thomas Matthews, The Wine Spectator Weekly, September 23, 2004
