From a single parcel of vines, La Faraona is the best Mencia on the market. The nose is beautiful with heady violets, lavender, crushed rocks and forest floor. Alongside the abundance of aromatics, this has fleshy, ripe fruit flavours and captivating smoky oak notes from the 600-litre barrels. The minerality keeps everything fresh and pure but a powerful structure suggests this will be a long lived one. This has such a long finish, showing all the details and layers you expect in exceptional wine.

Outstanding in every way, El Pisón is still swathed in oak and youthful insouciance; its potential cannot be hidden, however. For me it has now joined the rather small coterie of world wines, of which, paradoxically, both expectation and experience seem to increase every year.
