NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Pouring a deep garnet color, the Cepas Viejas Mencía greets the nose with an inviting bouquet of black cherries, ripe plums, and wild berries.These fruit aromas are complemented by subtle hints of earth, leather, and a whisper of smoky minerals. On the palate, the wine offers a medium-bodied experience, where flavors of dark fruit meet notes of chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of black pepper. Despite its richness, the wine is perfectly balanced by its fresh acidity and well-structured tannins, leading to a long, graceful finish that echoes its aromatic complexity. This Mencía pairs superbly with grilled meats and hearty Spanish dishes but is equally enjoyable on its own.
