veronica ortega corbana 2022

After honing her craft in Burgundy and Priorat’s top cellars, Andalusian winemaker Verónica Ortega found her true calling in Bierzo’s ancient Mencía vineyards. Her hands-off approach shines in this vibrant red—spontaneous fermentation, native yeasts, and minimal sulfites let the slate-rich terroir speak. Juicy wild strawberries, blackberry bramble, and a peppery kick unfold with nervy energy, framed by featherlight tannins. At once playful and profound.
