Banzao
Banzao produces wines from Castilla y León, Spain's vast central plateau. The winery focuses on Mencia, the region's signature dark-skinned variety, which yields wines of structure and mineral precision. Almorelle, their top-rated expression, reaches 95 points from prestige critics; Penedón follows at 94 points. Both showcase Mencia's characteristic depth. Eras La Ermita rounds the portfolio at 93 points. Wine Advocate and Decanter have assessed the range. The winery's work reflects the continental climate and slate-rich soils that define Castilla y León's terroir—conditions that give Mencia its taut acidity and dark fruit character.
