A vibrant and unique wine from a very old single vineyard of Mencía and about 15% Palomino, Godello and Doña Blanca. The vineyard, at 750 m altitude, sits on degraded blue slate with red clay soils, one of the latest-ripening and cooler areas of the region which gives Kinki its fresher and more fluid profile.
Kinki is made following a local winemaking style, fermenting red and white grapes together with a long and very soft maceration. It then ages for 8 months in clay amphorae, preserving the freshness, fruit and light profile of the wine.
It is a wine of a very light structure but of a precise balance, electric and clear mouth, very light in color and intense nose of red fruit, currants, sour strawberry and raspberry, with a balsamic and even medicinal background, which makes it fresh and elegant, very subtle and vibrant at the same time.
