Very pure. Very fresh #Mencia It is an approach to #mencía that I love and that is tricky to get right, because it borders on the green but is just ripe enough. Youthful and juicy. #valdeorras — 2 years ago

expresses the varietal typicity with a fresh and very fruity wine. traditional and careful viticulture processes are used. The winemaker, Almudena Alberca MW, is a friend of mine and while she is typically in Ribera del Duero heading up the Viña Mayor wines, with this #Mencia from #Valdeorras she shows that she clearly has the chops for other varieties and regions and can respect the essence of those areas and grapes.

From Telmo Rodriguez and his venture in Valdeorras in northwestern Spain, this is a great entry level Mencia. A great value at about $12-15. Elegant and earthy, with red cherry, plum, licorice spice, nary a trace of wood in this. Excellent acidity, medium grain tannin that is fine and supple, medium bodied and a medium+ finish.

Looking for a new white to add to your wine drinking repertoire? Well here it is. I had this wine and it's big brother (As Sortes) almost a half dozen times in Spain last week. This is an insane value at about $18. This is my wine of the year so far under $25.
Color of intense lemon yellow.
The nose is rich in fruit and fresh in minerality. Meyer lemon, golden pear, lime, salt, crushed rocks and a waxy floral note, a lot going on in the nose and palate. Speaking of the palate the crisp and mouthwatering acidity combines effortlessly with the depth and weight of the wine spectacularly into a clean, fresh finish. Buy it by the case and thank me later. For my local Hoboken and JC friends his can be found @ Sparrow in Hoboken (ask @Javier Martinez). #godello #valdeorras — 8 years ago
