WINE DESCRIPTION
Avancia Cuvée de O Mencia is a premium red wine produced by Jorge Ordoñez, a renowned Spanish wine producer. The wine is made from Mencia grapes grown in the Valdeorras appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and slate soils. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which results in a longer growing season and a unique flavor profile. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Mencia grape, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and minerality.
