Tasting Note

The wine has a cherry red colour with a medium layer and is very clean and bright. On the nose, after the reductive notes typical of the variety fade away, there is an explosion of red fruit such as raspberry, cherry, and blackberries, along with combined lactic notes that remind us of strawberry lollipops. There are also mineral notes that resemble graphite. The wine has a fresh initial taste, but as it goes through the mouth, it becomes warm and enveloping, reflecting the excellent balance of acidity and glycerin.

Product Notes

Adega Algueira Ribeira Sacra Mencia is an exceptional wine hailing from the prestigious region of Ribeira Sacra in Northwestern Spain. It exulsively features Mencia grapes, gifting it unmatched depth and subtly rustic flavours. This splendid wine captivates with an alluring bouquet of red fruits, cherry, mineral and floral notes. On the palate, it reveals crisp acidity, balanced by medium-bodied tannins, and rounds off with a remarkably persistent finish. Matured in French oak barrels, the wine imparts a distinguished texture and charismatic complexity. Ideal for pairing with charcuteries and full-bodied cheeses, it truly encapsulates the essence of Spanish viticulture.
