Bierzo DO wines. in California

Bierzo’s vineyards range from valley soils to slate- and quartz-bearing slopes. Atlantic influence and inland conditions meet here, giving a setting distinct from the central Duero plateau. Mencía is the natural starting point for reds; Godello provides a white counterpart. Village and smaller-origin wording can make the vineyard story more precise. The name of a slate slope describes its geology, without guaranteeing one particular flavour in the glass.
