'Fraga do Corvo' Mencia 2023

750ml

Sale price$27.50

This 100% Mencía comes from vines more than 20 years old on the historic slopes of Monterrei in Galicia, Spain, grown in mostly granite soils with a few plots of slate. The grapes are hand-sorted and then fermented in barrels. Aged for seven months in stainless steel and French oak, the wine offers notes of wild blackberry and raspberry, redcurrant, violets and licorice root, with a touch of vanilla and coffee bean. The palate is juicy and fresh, with red forest fruit, white pepper, and nutmeg, with polished tannins and a lengthy finish. Try it with salmon tartare, roast beef or pork, and even turkey.
