Product Details
100% Mencia. Our Best in Show journey across Northern Spain continues with a 2020 Bierzo, grown just across the provincial border from Galicia into Castilla y Léon. It's another zone of steep slopes and old vines - the variety in this case being Mencia (known as Jaen in Portugal's Dão region). This wine is deep black-red in colour and vivacious and urgent in aroma: wild plums mingled with the woodland scents of leaf, copse and forest floor. The palate is fruit-packed and vibrant, vigorous with an energy derived both from ripe acidity and fresh though smooth tannins; look out, too, for a stony, bitter-edged finish perhaps derived from the region's slate soils. Wonderful drinking now in the flush of youth, but fruit of this quality will hold well for a few years yet. Best in Show. Score - 97. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2023)
