Bodega Losada Fernandez Viña do Burato Mencia 2021

I have no idea about the wine, but I'm keeping it for future reference so it must have been a decent effort.

Nuanced exploration of Spanish Mencía, notably from Ribeira Sacra, features a unified integration of intensity and restraint. The 100% Mencía vintage is a prime example of this approach, with a stainless steel fermentation that yields a crisp and bracing character. The nose is featured by a youthful and vibrant profile, with hints of vanilla, blueberry, blackberry, and licorice, during the flavor is dry and well-balanced, with a medium+ body, medium acidity, and medium tannins. The tones of underripe plum, blackberry, and vanilla add body and complexity, even as the lasting impression is medium in length.

The wine's rich, smooth mouthfeel layers the palate, with a deep, inky cherry close that hangs on the back of the throat. Earthy layers and a suggestion of rich olive add intensity and sophistication to the wine, during the Mencia varietal shines through, its delicate nuances and silky conclusion making it a compelling elite for those seeking a full-bodied red.
