Valdecontina Mencia offers a delightful journey through the nuances of this underappreciated yet promising grape variety from northwest Spain. As one of the most important red grapes in Spain, Mencia reveals its elegant side with old vines and hillside sites, showcasing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, pepper, herbs, and a stony mineral note. Expect medium-bodied wines with fresh acidity and moderate tannin, perfect for pairing with a wide range of dishes from roast pork to grilled vegetables, making it an essential grape for modern Spanish wine.
