About this product
Bestizo by Emilio Moro: a Mencía red from Bierzo
Bestizo is a red wine made by Bodegas Emilio Moro in the Bierzo region of Spain using Mencía grapes. It marks a different direction for the family known for its Ribera del Duero wines: vineyards near Villafranca del Bierzo where hillside exposure and Atlantic influences help create a fresh, fruit-led expression. Consider it if you want a red with flavour and structure that remains versatile at the table.
Origin and grape: what defines Bestizo?
The producer describes vineyards on northwest-facing slopes, where drainage and altitude are important aspects of grape ripening. Mencía can show lively red fruit, floral nuances and acidity that keeps the palate energetic. Bestizo comes from the Bierzo DO, so it should not be confused with the Tempranillo-based reds produced by the same family in other Spanish regions.
Tasting notes and winemaking
The winery’s current tasting notes highlight blackberries and plums, fresher cherry and raspberry notes, floral accents and a mineral background. On the palate, the style balances concentration with freshness, polished tannins and a lingering finish. Emilio Moro describes stainless-steel fermentation and maturation in large wooden vats or foudres in vintage-specific technical sheets. Since Idyllica does not identify the harvest year of the bottle in stock, exact ageing periods are not assigned to this listing.
Food pairings and serving
Try Bestizo with roasted white meats, cured meats, mushrooms, baked vegetables and lighter stews. It can also suit warm salads or a board of moderately aged cheeses. For the vintage currently described by the producer, a serving range around 14–16°C is suggested, though the best temperature will depend on the individual bottle and your chosen food.
Frequently asked questions
Which grape is used? Mencía, a red grape strongly associated with wines from Bierzo.
Who makes it? Bodegas Emilio Moro, through its winemaking project in El Bierzo.
Which vintage will be supplied? The Idyllica listing does not specify a year. Contact the shop if you require a particular vintage.
