Region: Valtuille de Abajo, Bierzo DO, León, Spain
Grapes: 100% Mencía (old vines)
Body: Medium to full
Notes: Deep and wild. Dark cherry, blackberry, slate, smoked herbs, and a long mineral finish with silky tannins. Galicia meets Ribera in the mountains — and wins.
Pairing: Roasted suckling pig, lamb chops, jamón ibérico, chorizo stew, or aged Manchego.
Peique "Viñedos Viejos" is an old-vine Mencía from Bodegas Peique, a family estate run by siblings Mar and Roberto Peique in Valtuille de Abajo, in the heart of El Bierzo — a dramatic, slate-soiled appellation tucked into the mountains of northwest Spain where the Atlantic and Mediterranean climates collide. "Viñedos Viejos" means old vineyards, and that's exactly what this wine is: 100% Mencía sourced from century-old bush vines grown on steep, terraced slate slopes at altitude. The old vines deliver naturally low yields and intensely concentrated, mineral-driven fruit. Vinification is traditional — fermentation in stainless steel with native yeasts, followed by aging in French and American oak barrels to build structure without masking the grape's wild, savory character. Bierzo is one of Spain's most exciting appellations, and Peique is one of its most passionate standard-bearers.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
