The amber colored Mengoba Las Tinajas was fermented and macerated with the skins for 10 months in clay tinajas (amphorae). The wine is perfumed, nuanced and fresh, with peach aromas and flavors, a velvety texture and ultra-fine tannins. A very unique wine, with an umami/salty feeling and great acidity that makes it really perfect for the table.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The orange wine 2016 Mengoba las Tinajas has more of a golden color and a captivating nose of quince paste and white pepper. It's produced with Godello from Bierzo, but the style of wine is not approved by the appellation of origin and therefore sold as a generic Vino Blanco. The destemmed grapes are left whole and placed in four 500-liter terracotta tinajas (amphorae), where the wine fermented and was kept in contact with the skins for ten months. Skin contact can be overdone, but that's not the case here, where the varietal character is still noticeable and the palate is very tasty but not that tannic. This vintage feels very lively and fresh in the palate. I really liked this very much; it's among my favorite wines of this style in Spain. 1,100 bottles were filled in November 2017
