However, Analemma Mosier Hills Mencia is a notable example of this grape being grown in the United States, specifically in the Mosier Hills AVA of Oregon. This wine exhibits a vibrant and expressive character, showcasing the potential of Mencia in a different terroir. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as raspberry and cranberry, accompanied by floral notes and a touch of spice. The palate is medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity that brings a lively energy to the wine. Analemma Mosier Hills Mencia displays a well-balanced structure, with silky tannins and a moderate alcohol level. The fruit flavors persist on the palate, complemented by hints of earthiness and a subtle mineral undertone. The wine finishes with a lingering, elegant finish, leaving a lasting impression.
