There is a wide range of red wines here, starting with the 2013 Baltos, pure Mencía fermented with whole berries to achieve a semi-carbonic maceration effect. The élevage lasted six months and was in French and American oak barrels. There are plenty of spices, vanilla, cinnamon and also dill, roasted coffee and acid berries intermixed with something herbal, quite fresh, denoting a cool vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with nice acidity, fresh fruit and a good finish. Easy, pleasant to drink. This is very good value for what it is. 85,000 bottles produced.

It feels very ripe (for the vintage) and a little advanced (for its age), with notes of damsons and cooked apples with cinnamon thrown in. The palate is medium-bodied, with sweet spice flavors and ripe black fruit, with a commercial profile. It feels like the nose is more advance than the palate. 80,000 bottles produced.
