Estaladiña Grape Wines
The Rescue of a Genetic Treasure of Bierzo
"Estaladiña is El Bierzo's hidden gem: an ancestral variety recovered from oblivion, of electric freshness, spicy profile and vertical elegance."
The Variety for the Curious
Sensory Architecture
Unlike Mencía, Estaladiña stands out for its tension and nerve. On the nose it offers white pepper and violets, and on the palate it is vertical, with the mineral character of Bierzo's slate soils.
Rescue Viticulture
With only a few hectares, these wines are unique pieces. Drinking Estaladiña supports biodiversity and the rescue viticulture that defines Bierzo's new signature projects. Also discover the Mencía wines and the signature wines.
Pairing Philosophy
Thanks to its spicy profile, Estaladiña pairs with lean cuts of meat and Iberian cured meats. We recommend tall-stemmed glasses so its aromatic complexity can unfold freely. See the guide to wines for lean cuts.
