Mind-blowing, nicely mature Mencia, from a single high elevation site on slate and granite soils in Valdeorras, ‘the gateway to Galicia’. So Pinot-esque yet distinctly Spanish too, with dried rose petals, cherry fruit and clove. Gently sappy, with orange oil, pencil shavings and wonderful buoyant acidity. It floats across the mouth- so graceful, and such poise.
