Sumptuous yet mineral-driven Mencia that combined fresh raspberry, subtle spice and leafy green notes. High acid, too!

Spiced fruit, dried herbs, cherry drop, lavender, cured meat, and a raspberry finish. Nice acid. Gotta say, sometimes a food just fits the mold so perfectly with the wine, that there's not much more to say.. Paprika spiced pork cutlet doing that job. Anabel, you'd have loved this 😘

This wine is drinking very well. Tannins are well-balanced the fruit is luscious but not overpowering

This is a very clean, tasty wine. I am not familiar with the grape Mencía, but I am going to start being on the lookout.
