Alvarez de Toledo Señorío de la Antigua Mencía 2021

This wine is crafted from the Mencía grape, grown in the Bierzo region of northwest Spain, known for its unique microclimate influenced by both Atlantic and continental weather patterns. The vineyards are situated on slate and clay soils, which contribute to the wine's mineral complexity. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural fruit character, followed by a brief aging period in French oak barrels to add subtle structure and depth. The result is a medium-bodied wine with vibrant acidity, showcasing red fruit flavors and a hint of earthiness, ideal for immediate enjoyment.
