About this wine

If you're looking for a Spanish red that delivers serious character without breaking the bank, this Mencía from Bierzo is your answer. It's the kind of bottle that turns a regular Tuesday dinner into something memorable.

Pour yourself a glass and you'll find dark cherry and wild strawberry notes, backed by a touch of Mediterranean herbs and a whisper of minerality that comes from the slate-rich soils of Bierzo. The texture is smooth but structured, with soft tannins and a freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This wine loves hearty food. Think grilled chorizo, roasted lamb, or a classic Spanish tortilla. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16°C, to let all those beautiful flavors shine through.
