The Mencía Grape

The Mencía variety of grape is indigenous to the northwest of Spain, and its origins date back over a thousand years. The characteristics of the wines from this grape make them well-worth discovering. They have an intense raspberry colour, a penetrating fruity aroma, overlaid with a delicate floral scent. They have a high alcohol content, good acidity, age well and have a characteristically velvet finish. The Mencía grape is distinguished for its aging ability. This grape produces wines that exhibit all the strength and expressiveness of the land it comes from.
