Brothers Daniel and Gonzalo Amigo returned to their roots to establish Bodegas Madai, recovering their grandparents' vineyards in El Bierzo, north-west Spain. Here, at the northernmost limit of Bierzo, their vineyards experience a continental-atlantic climate.On steep, south-facing, slopes ideal for ripening grapes they discovered plots of old Godello and Mencia vines too - over 100 years old. They believe the established, gnarled vines on these old plots (around 4ha) have found a natural equilibrium, producing very low yields with no fertilisers and minimal intervention.

Bodegas Madai Origen Mencia 2017
13.5% abv
Vol- 120cl
Vibrant aromas of cherry and red berry with a hint of violet. The palate is complex with crunchy berry fruit, a hint of liquorice, smooth tannins and floral characters – all balanced by fresh acidity and with a velvety finish. Madai is the creation of the Amigo brothers, who returned to their native Bierzo to rejuvenate their grandparents’ vineyards planted with old vine Mencia grapes (over 80 years of age). The wine spends 6 months on its lees.
