Product Notes

Telmo Rodriguez Gaba Do Xil Tinto Mencía wine is a Spanish ruby red treat, crafted in the Valdeorras region. Boasting a deep burgundy hue, it strikes delight immediately upon pouring. Unwind to earthy and fruity fragrances with an undertone of mineral-like freshness, typical of Mencía grape wines. Savour the balanced interplay of raspberries, cherries, peppery spice, and a slight smoky touch, beautifully ending with a sharp, yet pleasant finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this medium-bodied wine is elegant and versatile. Perfect for those partial to nuanced, yet excellent taste and absolute value-for-money. An embodiment of Rodriguez's pursuit of authenticity.

Tasting Notes

Aromatic, cherry fruit, a touch savoury and earthy, and a gorgeous lightness of touch.
