Mario Rovira named his winery "Akilia", a nod to the large eagle population in this strikingly beautiful stretch of Galicia. and made it his mission to revive old vineyards of native varieties and showcase the unique character of Bierzo’s terroir. This is a more delicate and nuanced rendition of Mencia, showing its savory tonality, (sage, earth, palo santo), with edgy red fruit on the palate (red currant + cranberry). It ends on an energetic, mineral note, clear evidence of old vines.
