Un Culin 2022 is an expression of Bierzo viticulture, crafted by José Antonio García. This wine reflects the winery's commitment to sustainability and organic farming.

Produced in the hills of El Bierzo, José Antonio García Viticultor is a family winery dedicated to preserving traditional and sustainable practices. The vineyards, located in Valtuille de Abajo, benefit from poor soils with low yields but high quality, and the continental climate with Atlantic influence adds a unique complexity and freshness to the wine. The winery stands out for its dedication to minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to fully express itself.

Made with organically grown grapes, in A 2022 Culin undergoes spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts in uncontrolled vats, where it ages for 12 months. This process, along with minimal intervention in the winery, allows the natural characteristics of the Mencía grape to fully express itself.

Tasting Notes

The nose displays aromas of ripe red fruits, violet flowers, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is elegant and well-balanced, with soft tannins and refreshing acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish.
