The Story
To express our gratitude to the many who have helped us over the years, Olé & Obrigado donates 50% of Liquid Geography Mencía Rosé's profits in equal parts to: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to support cancer care, research, and education, and Wheeling Forward to help those with disabilities experience life to the fullest. Liquid Geography is a dry rosé made with Mencía grapes from 53 year old vines in the region of Bierzo in northwest Spain, a region with a wine history that dates back to the Roman times. Mencía is a red grape that is indigenous to the area. This rosé sees no oak and is fermented in stainless steel vats. Liquid Geography is produced from vineyards owned by the Guerra winery, which farms 1/3 of all vineyards in the Bierzo region. Out of the 3,000ha (7,413 acres) of vineyard land in Bierzo, Guerra takes care of 1,000ha (2,471 acres), however, they only make wine with the best 10% of grapes. This rigorous selection process allows Liquid Geography to show consistent extraordinary quality.
