2016 ‘A Portela’ Alberto Orte, Mencia, Valdeorras
£23.00
“100% Mencia. Myrtle scent and if you’ve ever gone sloe-berry picking in early December, you’d know this smell of iron and cold earth and wet bark and mushrooms and lank leaves. It tastes like tomato vine and mint leaves soaked in balsamic vinegar, like black rice wine and lemon verbena, like umeboshi plums. Intriguing, edgy and utterly addictive.”
17/20 Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
Alberto Orte is a force to be reckoned with, producing truly compelling and ambitious wines that have firmly established him as one of the most talented up and comers of the next generation of Spanish winemakers. In addition to co-founding Olé & Obrigado, Alberto has also dedicated a huge portion of his life to discovering great terroirs, resurrecting ancient clones, and replanting nearly extinct grape varieties that would otherwise be lost to modernity. Alberto produces wine in many regions throughout the Iberian Peninsula, most notably in Jerez, Valdeorras and Rioja.
