BodegasyVinedosMerayoMencia

Bodegas y Vinedos Merayo Mencia is made from over 80 year old Mencia bush vines. There is no oak treatment to preserve the aromatic fresh red fruit quality of this variety. Fresh and herbal with a hint of spice on the finish.

There is rather lovely balance of old and young at Merayo. 80 year old Mencia bush vines give their fruit to the young, dynamic winemaker Juan Merayo who then crafts wonderful wines full of fresh, perfumed characters and ripe red fruit evocative of Mencia. Everything is handpicked with the appropriate reverence for these octogenarian vines before the grapes receive careful temperature controlled ferments and sensitive use of French and American oak to ensure Juan creates the expressive wines he is looking for.
