Peique

Mencía-focused producer from Bierzo, Spain's emerging slate-driven red region.

Peique works with Mencía, the signature red grape of Bierzo in Castilla y León. The region's cool climate and slate-rich soils shape wines of structure and mineral precision. The winery's portfolio centers on single-varietal expressions: Mata los Pardos, El Rapolao, and Luis Red each capture the depth and complexity that Mencía achieves in this corner of northwest Spain. Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all assessed these releases, recognizing their caliber. Bierzo itself has emerged as one of Spain's most compelling regions for serious red wine, and Peique's Mencías reflect that potential—wines built on terroir rather than extraction, with the mineral grip and aging potential the slate subsoil provides.
