This small vineyard, located between the municipalities of Priaranza del Bierzo and Borrenes, borders an oak grove.It had been abandoned when volunteers from the Nim association set out to restore the vineyard landscape and care for the vineyards in the area that were in danger of disappearing. With care, using machetes, saws, brush cutters and a lot of love, they gradually restored them. Today, this century-old vineyard, at an altitude of 450 metres, has sprouted again and is producing grapes, albeit in small quantities and highly subject to the whims of nature.
Tasting notes: Imalia Teso Rubio has a deep, wild nose, with hints of forest and minerals. On the palate, it evokes tension and character, giving way to an elegant aftertaste with notes of chocolate.
