Mencía
Bierzo offers a fragrant alternative to Spain’s plateau reds, with Mencía from small hillside vineyards and textured Godello whites.
Red cherry, flowers and herbs with fresh acidity and fine to firm tannins.
Citrus and orchard fruit with a dry, textured palate; lees or barrel ageing can add breadth.
Bierzo’s vineyards range from valley soils to slate- and quartz-bearing slopes. Atlantic influence and inland conditions meet here, giving a setting distinct from the central Duero plateau. Mencía is the natural starting point for reds; Godello provides a white counterpart. Village and smaller-origin wording can make the vineyard story more precise. The name of a slate slope describes its geology, without guaranteeing one particular flavour in the glass.
