Been sitting on this for 5 years. Straight from Spain. I believe the godello in this was aged sous-voile (very Raúl) before blending (15%?). Red crunchy fruit with a sweaty edge; highly satisfying. Very happy

2013. Expressive and fresh Mencia. Brighter and more red fruit. Lovely balance.

1st experience with this varietal, similar to gamay, fruit forward, elegant, fresh berries and mineral drenched back end.
