Description
The discovery of four bear footprints in a magnificent
vineyard in the highest areas of the Bierzo inspired the
name of this wine.
Four solid steps are necessary to reach excellence: the selection of the land, the care of the vine, a suitable climate and carefulness in the vinification.
Four places: Valtuille, Villadecanes, Otero and Villafranca with four different stories that define the character of their people and vines.
And this is how Cuatro Pasos was born, 100% Mencía made from selected grapes over 60 years old vines located on the slopes of Bierzo region.
After its vinification, a short ageing is carried out in French and America oak barrels of 300 l.
