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.
Various vineyards located in the Valdeorras Valley.
Manual harvest.
Grapes transported to the winery in "boxes" of 20 kilograms. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures and with cold maceration. — 5 years ago

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 — 5 years ago

The nose of this wine has blackerries, black plums, with a hint of oak and leather. The palate has blackberries, black cherries, and plums with oakiness in the finish. — 6 years ago

One of the smoothest, juiciest and downright delicious #mencia I’ve ever had. It has less of an Atlantic feel and more of a Mediterranean feel. Still moderate alcohol at 13.5 and it was fluid and highly drinkable. — 4 years ago

Pronounced aromas of red fruits and spice. There’s a sort of pomegranate and mustiness to the wine. A little bit mousey. There are obviously aromas of the whole cluster fermentation. I like it. It is balanced, juicy and crunchy. #galicia #mencia blend #spain — 6 years ago
