Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Pétalos was produced with 85% Mencía, 10% white grapes and 5% other reds from over 90 hectares, 20% owned by them and the rest from 180 families. It fermented with some full clusters in oak and stainless steel vats and matured in barrels of different sizes for 10 months. It's clearly more Mediterranean, with notes of rockrose and other aromatic herbs, juicy and round, more fruit-driven, aromatic, velvety and very pleasant and easy to drink. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.54. It's still not all bottled, as it's done in different lots, for a total of around 270,000 bottles and 3,000 magnums.

Description
Pétalos del Bierzo is a young crianza red wine made by the Descendientes de J. Palacios winery from Mencía grapes from Bierzo, in the province of Castilla y León, located in the northwest of Spain.
This wine comes from vines aged between 40 and 90 years old, planted in goblet-trained vines at an altitude of 450 and 1,000 metres above sea level, with steep, rocky slate soils that bring out the best in the vineyards.
The grapes come from 5 municipalities, Corullón, Valtuille, Villadecanes, Parandones and Villafranca del Bierzo.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and the vineyards are worked in the traditional way. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in wooden vats and open stainless steel tanks.
After maceration for 30 days, malolactic fermentation takes place for 2 months in wooden vats and closed stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels.
Taste
