Iconic Mencia Wine from the Bierzo Region

In the mouth, minerality, balsamic notes, spices and the presence of undergrowth predominate. A powerful and concentrated red that wonderfully balances rich fruit with spicy notes and a hint of smoke. A smooth persistent finish that retains a freshness thanks to its excellent acidity.

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Established in 1987 in Cacabelos, the Luna family’s winery produces some of the best value reds from Bierzo, all of them based on the local grape Mencía. The basic young red, the 12 months oak-aged Finca and the 16 month oak-aged Paixar have really succeeded at showing both grape and terroir character. This achievement has to do with painstaking winemaking and especially with the high age profile of their vines.
