Viņa Barroca is made by Bodegas Adriā, from vineyards farmed by them and their controlled contract farmer around the towns of Villafranca del Bierzo and Cacabelos. This young wine, which shows distinct mineral terroir and bright, young Mencía fruit reminiscent of pomegranates spends 4 months on the lees in stainless steel and 4 months in bottle before release. The 2014 has even brighter delightful pomegranate fruit to marry with the distinctive minerality of this bargain wine. The grapes for Viņa Barroca come from 25 hectares of 30-60 year old goblet-pruned vines grown on steeply inclined sloped in the areas of Vilafranca del Bierzo, Valtuille de Arriba and Pieros that are owned by growers who strictly follow the criteria required by Bodegas Adriā.
The soil composition of the vineyards is quartz, clay and slate, the altitude ranges from 450 to 100 meters above sea level, the rainfall in this Atlantic-dominated climate is 722mm per year (about the same as Bordeaux) and the average high temperature in summer is about 80 degrees.
The bodega, which faces northwest and overlooks a stretch of the Camino de Santiago with its perpetual parade of pilgrims trekking across northern Spain, is in very close proximity to the vineyards, so during harvest the grapes arrive at the winery shortly after being picked.
