About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of MencíaMade with grapes of the Mencía variety from the D.O. Ribeira Sacra, this striking red boasts an attractive cherry colour with violet trim. It has a spectacular fruit flavour and an original presence of slate mineral and spicy and toasted notes. The wine provides notes of blackberry and licorice, in perfect harmony. In the mouth, its balance stands out with soft touches of tannin, giving a persistent finish that lasts and invites you to continue tasting. It is a delicious, well structured red, passing across the palate smoothly. A perfect match for grilled meat.

Winner of the “Best in Show” award at lhe 2021 Decanter Magazine World Wine Awards, this racy Galician impresses immediately with a surge of bright cherry flavour - somewhere between red and black. Complexing elements of sweet spice, blueberries and a hint of smoke add value. Medium to full bodied, softly finished with very fine tannins, it’s a versatile style that would match well with a large range of dishes. Don’t cellar this - drink it now and over the next year lest the bouncy fruit stops bouncing.
