Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The only wine from 2024 I tasted was the very young red 2024 El Castro de Valtuille Mencía Joven, where young (joven) refers to the wine, as the grapes come from old vines. It fermented destemmed in stainless steel, pressed after 18 days and blended before Christmas, after which it was kept in oak foudres for three months. This is always primary and fruit-driven by definition, ripe but fresh, with 13.2% alcohol and a pH of 3.75, juicy and approachable. It's from a year with lots of purity of fruit, with a lot of rain during the harvest (like in the past). The wine is agile and fine-boned with very fine tannins. It would benefit from a little bit of time in bottle. They do different bottlings of this wine, as they produce around 100,000 bottles. It was bottled in May 2025.
