All of the Casar de Burbia wines are 100% Mencia that went through malolactic fermentation in barrel.Importer: Steve Metzler, Bonafide Wine Estates, Seattle, WA; Tel. (206) 297-6713

The 2007 Casar de Burbia, sourced from vines at least 30 years of age, was fermented and aged for 6 months in barrel. It offers up a slightly reticent bouquet of mineral, cigar box, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry leading to an already complex wine with a bit of structure under the smooth texture. Ripe and succulent on the palate, it is likely to evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6-8 years. Casar de Burbia is a 57 acre estate consisting of 22 contiguous Mencia parcels consolidated in 1989.Importer: Classical Wines From Spain, Seattle, WA; Tel: (800) 257-7225

The 2006 Casar de Burbia is 100% Mencia sourced from 30+-year-old vines. The wine went through malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by six months in American, French, and Hungarian oak. Deep crimson-colored, it reveals a touch of cedar, spice box, violets, black cherry, and blueberry in its enticing bouquet. This leads to a layered, elegant wine with plenty of succulent fruit, good balance, and a fruit-filled finish. It can be enjoyed over the next six years.
