The new vintage of the red that used to be named Ozuela, like the village, has now been renamed to 2018 Mundo Zeppelling Mencía de Pueblo, as the villages and other geographical names will be used in the new classification of the wines—regional, village and single vineyard. Furthermore, it now contains grapes from different parishes of Ozuela, Rimor and Orbanajo, from Mencía-based field blends with variable percentages of Garnacha Tintorera, Palomino and Doña Blanca, depending on the plot. The soils in the zone are rich in slate, and the vines tend to be on steep slopes. It fermented with natural yeasts and 100% full clusters in open-top chestnut wood vats and matured in well-seasoned barriques for 10 months. There is more depth and nuance here, more complexity; it's more serious and has a more complex structure, with stony austerity, fine and elegant, with vibrant and bright flavors of acid berries. It's very tasty, elegant and floral but subtle. 2,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019.
