TASTING NOTES
One hundred percent unoaked Mencía from a young 10-acre estate vineyard on steep west-facing granite slopes. Reminiscent of Loire Valley reds, refreshing acidity and intense berry fruit giving way to a clean, appetizingly mineral finish

PRESS
Viña Reboreda Mencía (2017) - "This fresh red is light but energetic, relying more on acidity than tannins for structure, delivering berry, tart cherry, lively herb and mineral notes in a bright, crisp texture. Drink now through 2022."
