WINE DESCRIPTION
Dominio de Tares Baltos Mencía is a red wine produced by Dominio de Tares, a renowned winery located in the Bierzo appellation of Spain. The wine is made from the Mencía grape variety, which is grown in the vineyards located on the slopes of the mountains. The vineyards are characterized by their high altitude, steep slopes, and slate soils, which impart unique mineral notes to the wine. The vines are low-trained and often old by modern standards. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a bright ruby color, aromas of red fruits and spices, and a smooth and elegant finish with ferrous minerality. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the unique flavors and aromas of Spanish wines.
