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 : 2024
At its peak : 2025-2027
Until : 2029
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 old-vine cuvée from the village of Valtuille, the 2022 Quite has a slightly darker color and riper profile of dark berry fruit and aromatic herbs, a touch more Mediterranean this year, with a medium-bodied palate and fine-grained, chalky tannins. This is the ninth vintage for this red, and it fermented with 15% full clusters and matured mostly in large oak containers for nine months. It has contained ripeness and 13% alcohol, coming through as juicy and balanced, clean and expressive.

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.
