- Many were survivors of the late 19th century phylloxera epidemic and some were planted shortly thereafter, yet the 80+ year-old Mencia vines that cover the steep slopes of Valtuille de Arriba and Villafranca del Bierzo had all but been abandoned until recent start-up, Bodegas del Abad opened in 2003. Carracedo is aged in French oak for a year and is bottled unfiltered.
