Guimaro - Mencia - Ribeira Sacra

2020

This is one of the "go to" names if you're wondering what all the fuss about Riberia Sacra is. Made up entirely of Mencia, an indigenous grape variety to Galicia, it is unoaked with a pure and lush palate of red fruits. A slate-like minerality balances the fresh fruit and translates the terroir driven winemaking of Pedro Rodriguez into the glass. Although entry level, this wine is an exquisite and true expression of old vine Mencia made with care and talent.
