Tasting Note

With its wonderfully inky-purple colour, this Bierzo would appear to be powerful and aggressive, but appearances are deceiving. With its black currant and gamey aromas, and mellow flavours of black fruit and walnut, and a hint of balsamic in the finish, it works!


Producer

Cuatro Pasos is the project of Martín Códax (Cambados, D.O. Rías Baixas) in the lands of El Bierzo. After years of effort, considerable investments and challenging decisions, Martín Códax has demonstrated that he not only has a sixth sense when it comes to forecasting new trends in the wine market but also that he knows how to execute them with perfect mastery. 

The Bierzo DO lies to the east of Rías Baixas and has a slightly warmer climate.


Winemaking

This wine is made exclusively with the Mencía grape variety, hand harvested from 80 year old vines.

Temperature controlled fermentation of the must takes place in stainless steel tanks followed by ageing for 10 months in medium toasted French oak barrels.


Fun Fact

Cuatro Pasos gets its name from the discovery of four bear footprints in a magnificent vineyard in the highest areas of Bierzo.

Four solid steps are necessary to reach excellence: the selection of the land, the care of the vine, a suitable climate and carefulness in the vinification.


Food pairing

A suitable partner for roasted and stewed rich meat dishes. Try with cured cheese and Iberian charcuterie
