Mineral red. Delicious. A Senda Vermella is Caiño and Mencía from several parcels in Rías Baixas. The vines range in age from 15-95 years and are planted on sandy and granitic soils. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and foot-trod in plastic vats, with the Caiño and the Mencía separated. Native yeast fermentation began while the juice macerated with its skins for 21 days before pressing in a vertical press. Malolactic fermentation completed in used French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, where the wine rested until bottling. — 4 months ago

Miniscule production of high elevation, old-vine, single vineyard Mencia. A lukewarm first run with this producer. Light-to-medium red. Dark-fruited and earthy, with good energy and tight-knit tannins. Finishes with a bean-like character which I often see in natural wines that's got a little too much air. I'm not fond of the character, but if you can get past that, it's a nice tipple. — 2 years ago
