Tasting note

Fantastic value, this Mencia offers an inviting bouquet of red cherries, blackberries, and plums, accented by hints of violets, herbs, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, showcasing flavours of ripe red fruits, blackcurrants, and a subtle earthiness, balanced by soft tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of minerality.

Producer

Alvarez de Toledo

Alvarez De Toldedo’s vineyards are located in the so-called "Golden Mile" of El Bierzo, a privileged vineyard area in terms of orientation and soil. Located in the surroundings of Villafranca del Bierzo and Valtuille de Arriba, this is the most traditional area for producing red wine grapes of the Mencía variety, with an altitude between 420 and 500 m. Vines here are between 40-60 years old on average.

Region

Castilla Y Leon

Castilla y León, located in north-central Spain, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and diverse wine offerings. It benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, which, along with varied soil types, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The area is especially renowned for its robust reds, particularly those made from Tempranillo and Garnacha, which produce complex wines with rich fruit flavours and notable aging potential. It is also known for its whites, including those from Verdejo and Godello, offering fresh, aromatic profiles with crisp acidity.
Historically, Castilla y León has been a significant wine-producing area since ancient times, with a rich heritage that includes the renowned Ribera del Duero and Rueda DOs.
