Product info
The name Quite (little hand, in the parlance of the bull-fighters) brings us back to the Andalusian roots of Veronica, whose father was a torero.
This is Veronica's most approachable Mencia, juicy and fruity, but still very personal.
Vinification
Traditional vinification. The grapes are bought from friendly winegrowers.
The grapes are totally de-stemmed; After a short maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 80% of the wine is aged for 8 months in large vats (2,500, 3,500 and 5,500-litre French oak foudres), 20% in 800-litre dolia jars and 228-litre used oak barrels.
Storage potential
Drink as from : 2022
At its peak : 2023-2025
Until : 2028
To serve
Can be served slightly cooler, after decanting.
Trial analysis
Dark but shimmering red colour.
Very fruit forward on the nose (red and black berries), but with enough tension.
Juicy but well-structured on the palate, and no hint of the ageing process. Very nice expression of the Mencía grape indeed!

Reviews
R. Parker (93/100)

The red 2021 Quite was produced with fruit from Valtuille de Abajo, from old vines, with the fine-boned, aerial and fresh profile of the 2021s that are more ethereal and vibrant. In 2021, she started to use some stems and some white grapes, which makes the wine even more fluid and vibrant. This is very elegant and fine-boned, quite ethereal within the Mencía on clay profile, with roundness and clout. It has a moderate 12% alcohol. She's looking forward to a longer élevage for this wine, which is now under one year in oak vat because she needs the vat for the following harvest, and she should be able to do that in the new winery.

Wine estate

Verónica Ortega was raised in Cádiz, Andalusia. After finishing her studies, se traveled all around the world and made wine for some of the greatest names on the wine planet. She is a proud pupil of Raúl Pérez, who passed to her his love of the Mencía grape. Since 2012, she has been running her own, very small estate, also in Valtuille de Abajo.
