The wine
The Finca Luna Beberide is a vino de paraje, a wine from a particular place, which picks up the soil’s diversity, with a captivating countryside aura in which wild red berries, bushes and earth converge with spices and smoke. It’s also a fresh and lively wine from start to finish, having enough body to satisfy every last millimetre of palate. A wine with a notable powerfulness, denoting purity and nobility. In short, a wine of conspicuous complexity at such a moderate price.
This wine was formerly known as Finca La Cuesta until the 2017 vintage. Now it’s a ‘vino de paraje’, a wine from a particular place, namely Valdetruchas, in Villafranca del Bierzo.

Vineyards
The three reds made by Luna Beberide come from vineyards in a particular location, the paraje de Valdetruchas, in Villafranca del Bierzo. The youngest vines, situated in the valley, are grown for making the young Mencía; those at medium altitude, around 500-600 metres, aged more than 60 years old, are used to produce Finca Luna Beberide (previously called Finca La Cuesta for this reason); and those planted at the top of the slope, at about 700-800 metres, are destined for Art, the most concentrated and mineral wine.

As Alejandro maintains: "the prime material and the soil must be the mainstays of what later will be a great wine”; and thanks specifically to those slate and clay-calcareous soils, they obtain fruit-laden, mineral wines. The winery possesses a large16th Century house located...
