Viña de los Pinos is a treasure on display to every resident and visitor to Bierzo. Icon of the typical local old vineyard, our precious site maintains the identity of the traditional viticulture in the region, using an original goblet-training, vines dated more than a century ago, mainly with the local star Mencía in with some scattered other local varieties . A little less than 3 Ha of vineyard producing less than 1.5 Kg per plant, on a soil toughened by slope and winds, we make an effort in farming it in the most ecologic and sustainable possible way, fostering biodiversity to ensure that its low yield contains the most quality. Hosting countless family celebrations, past, present and future, Viña de los Pinos and its shed on top is truly a magical place and holds a special energy that we are eager to share with you through our Cantariña 2.

Tasting Notes Viña de Los Pinos 2021
Tim Atkin 93points
“It is a lively and bright red with candy floss, rose petal and pine forest freshness”.
James Suckling 94points
“Engagingly stemmy pepperiness in the forefront, with grilled citrus, juniper and botanicals. Juicy and tart berries applenty on the palate, with succulent and structured fruit tannins. Long, tangy and full of nerves Mencía.”
