The red wine Valdafoz, Bierzo DO, vintage 2017 from the winery Bodega Descendientes de J. Palacios has been rated in 2025 by Peter Moser with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Mencía
No Moncerbal was bottled this year; this wine comes from a small 0.21-hectare parcel that was vinified separately. Deep ruby-garnet colour with purple reflections and a broad ochre rim. Fine herbal savouriness on the nose, with red-berry confit, preserved cherry, strawberry and candied orange zest. Juicy and elegant on the palate, with ripe tannins. Mineral and a light-footed food companion, already well developed. (PM, drinking/storage +15).
