Olga Verde

Bierzo Mencía from slate and Atlantic wind, rated by Wine Advocate.

Olga Verde operates in Bierzo, the mountainous northwestern corner of Castilla y León, where slate-rich soils and Atlantic influence shape wines of mineral precision and dark fruit intensity. The winery focuses on Mencía, the region's signature variety—a grape that thrives in Bierzo's cool climate and produces wines with structure, acidity, and a distinctive earthy character. Toxo Otero de Toral Mencía and Fontecalada Mencía stand as the winery's principal expressions, both rated by Wine Advocate. These wines reflect the terroir of one of Spain's most compelling emerging regions, where traditional viticulture meets the demands of a challenging landscape.
