Excellent entry-level Mencía, that's sure to be a hit with lovers of cru Beaujolais or Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. Hailing from parcels of 30- to 60-year-old vines on hillsides around Valtuille and Villafranca del Bierzo, it was vinified without oak with a splash of Garnacha Tintorera thrown in for good measure. It's bright and crunchy with ripe plum, blood orange, cinnamon, and an undercarriage of savoury herbs alongside fine-grained tannins and taut acidity.
