1 bottle with at least 15% Garnacha Tintorera in the blend.
Bordeaux-trained Grégory Pérez works 12 hectares from a cellar at San Juan de Carracedo, with Espanillo parcels above 600 metres and Godello and Mencía plots at Arganza.
Signature wines: Estaladiña, La Grande Cuvée, El Rebolón, Mencía de Espanillo, Mengoba Las Botas, Mengoba Godello Viejo
Numbered single-parcel wines from two family vineyards above Villafranca, restarted in 2015 with 900 bottles of Garnacha Tintorera.
Tip: The numbered bottlings are single parcels, so ask which number came off which slope. Volumes are small enough that not all eight are in stock.
