Bierzo Viore Mencia image

Bierzo Viore Mencia

Bierzo, Spain

A gorgeous full-bodied Spanish red with intense aromas of strawberries and cherries and a hint of creamy minerality. Perfect accompaniment to red meats, sausage or game.

The grapes came from bush vines averaging 80 years old, located on calcareous clay steep slopes in the central area of Bierzo (between castilla y leon and galicia). The Sierra de los Ancares acts as a natural barrier, generating a continental climate with Atlantic influence. Low yield, high quality, 400-600m altitude. Mencia is a grape that is not produced much. It buds late but ripens quickly. Mineral-rich slate soils, a continental climate.

Deep red cherry colour with violet shades. Intense aromas of red fruits; strawberry and cherry, as well as fine mineral hints. Well-structured, easy drinking with a floral finish.

Contains sulfites. Vegan

  • Perfect paired with red meats, cured meat and game.

Indeed, northwestern Spain forged its reputation as a producer of robust, concentrated reds. Yet a growing firmament of younger consumers seek bottles that refresh rather than merely impress.The complete antithesis of an overoaked fruit bomb. And, increasingly, a major player in the export scene.

    A blend of red-fleshed Garnacha Tintorera and Syrah produces a deep ruby wine with red and black berry fruit flavours and savoury herbaceous notes on the finish. Delicious on its own, it's also a really versatile food wine.
