Category: Spanish Reds

From Rias Baixas, Galicia, Spain where the white wines grab all the attention.  However, this is very tasty and well made.  Coming in at only 11.5% due to cooling ocean breezes that deliver a bright, linear acidity that lift the wild strawberry/raspberry notes.

Zoe P. ★★★★★

Finally a light red that doesn't taste watery—the cooling ocean breezes really keep the fruit fresh and balanced. Poured a glass with grilled veggies and it was just right for a warm evening.

Owen L. ★★★★★

Opened this on a warm evening expecting something thin, but the cool Atlantic breezes really do show—it’s got a bright, juicy red-fruit snap that feels way more refreshing than most Spanish reds. At 11.5% it’s dangerously easy to finish the bottle with dinner.

Zoe I. ★★★★★

I’d been skipping over Rias Baixas reds, but this Mencia is a pleasant surprise—the 11.5% alcohol makes it easy to enjoy a glass on a warm evening. Great balance and a smooth finish.
