Telmo Rodriguez, D.O. Valdeorras
Galicia's red grape, Mencia is grown from the Atlantic coast in the west, all the way to Galicia's easternmost D.O. Valdeorras; continuing up the hill into adjacent Bierzo, the westernmost of the central 'Castilian-Continental' D.O.s. Galician-Atlantic Mencia is angular, snappy, herbal and relatively light in cast, reflecting its growing circumstance in constantly wet climes.

Highly fragrant and floral, with dried herbs, violets and caponata-like pepperiness inflecting gamey red fruits. Trademark Mencia smoky meatiness, gentle fruit tannin and a long herb/acid tang finish. Mid-weight, delicious and very stylish wine; best suited to spring/summer/autumn, but fully deserving a year-round listing we feel. |
