Brezo de Gregory Pérez Bierzo Mencía

Love the savouriness of the Mencia grape - meaty and bloody with some cowyard. An easy drinking Spanish quaffer. 16+.

I was so excited to get stuck into my first The Wine Gallery order! The presentation and little added extras in the box really make this wine club subscription stand out. The first of my three wines picked for me based on my tastes was this bottle of Mengoba Brezo Tinto 2014 from the Bierzo region in northwest Spain. It's made from the Mencia grape varietal and this bottle retails for approx $23.
First up I loved the vibrant colour on this baby as soon as you pop the cork. It's fairly deep in colour but has this striking garnet sheen to it. The nose oozed whiffs of cherries, raspberries, pencil shavings and it has a certain stony-ness to it. The palate is uber friendly with lovely fruit & vegetal flavours. Easy drinking and food friendly, perfect for a bit of #tcweekdaywine action 😜
I picked up my first The Wine Gallery order at 40% off using the promo code 'travellingcorkscrew' - get onto it people!

Dark chocolate, burnt orange and bruised raspberries on the nose. A medium bodied tart palate with spice.
