Bancales Olvidados

Forgotten, but not lost. The recovery of two exceptional and unique vineyards: Miño and Sil; slate and shale. The most special example of our Mencía after it has been in a barrel. The result of a human project to appreciate the work of sorne winegrowers who shun the easy life and work in the most adverse areas.
