Mencía is a native red grape variety from the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, especially grown in the province of León and Galicia. Found in designations such as DO Bierzo, Ribeira Sacra, Valdeorras, and Monterrei, its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when Burgundian monks introduced new cultivation techniques and crossed it with local varieties. The result is a grape capable of authentically expressing the terroir with personality.
Mencía produces wines with a medium body, silky texture, and intense aromas of red fruits like raspberries and cherries. Its low acidity and moderate alcohol content make it ideal for both young wines and barrel-aged reds. On the palate, it is velvety and elegant, with mineral and herbal notes that reflect the character of the soil, especially when sourced from old vineyards or terraced plots.
Mencía wine stands out for its freshness, balance, and aromatic expression. In its young version, it delivers intense fruity notes and a light, refreshing mouthfeel. When aged in oak, it develops a more complex profile, adding spicy, roasted, and smoky nuances that harmonize with its fruity base. Its minerality makes it an excellent choice for lovers of wines with identity and Atlantic character.
