Tasting Notes
This special selection delivers classic aromas of ripe cherry and wild red berries. On the palate the fresh red fruit character is tempered by the slightest hint of blueberry, resolving into a satisfying spiciness.
Winemaker Notes
Mencia is more than just a wine or a grape. Rather, it is an experience, an odyssey, the definition of the journey of discovery that is our Magellan Series. These rare grapes are grown only in the Valdeorras region comprising the rugged, easternmost hills of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. For many years it was only available to locals, with all of the production consumed within this small area. When you taste this one, you will understand why it took so long for the Galicians to allow this special wine to finally be shared with a few discerning international connoisseurs like you.
