Alvaredos Hobbs Mencía is crafted in the rugged landscape of Galicia, located in northwest Spain, where the cool Atlantic breezes and granite-rich soils impart a distinct character to the wine. The wine is usually made from a predominance of the local Mencía grape, supported by a touch of Garnacha Tinta. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in oak vats, followed by aging in a proportion of new French oak barrels for around one year adding subtle complexity without overshadowing the vibrant fruit and floral notes.
