Our dream is to create a great wine, based on our understanding of the vineyard, its terroir, and the native grapes of the Mencia varietal. An artisan production, a vigilant aging, evoking traditional consumption tied to the local culture, all without forgetting the latest trends and responding to changes rapidly and with a personal commitment.
Our mission is to create a sustainable project, able to add value to our grapes, and allowing us to maintain and recover our vineyards to their best potential. Our vision is to grow and to create a specially designed winery to develop an artisan labour, becoming the high quality wine benchmark in Bierzo.
DEMENCIA is the Spanish word for dementia, a word that relates to the dysfunctional or the disorientation, a small mental disorder, but loaded with creativity and brilliance. This is the spirit of DEMENCIA wine.

| Taste: |
In the mouth it is both spacious and fresh, with a bitter aftertaste that is very characteristic of this varietal. |
| Vinification: |
Our aim is to reach the optimal state of ripeness for controlled winemaking in stainless steel vats, together with ageing on fine 5-month lees – 80% in the vat and 20% in 225-litre barrels. |
