Deep crimson hued with violet undertones in appearance, the 2021 vintage opens with intriguing, well-delineated aromas of ripe, juicy mulberry and Queen Anne cherry that give way to fragrant yet subtle notes of cedar and aromatic bay leaf. Beautifully balanced, with structural support provided by a vein of long, silky, black tea-like tannin and a touch of mineral-like salinity which adds tension through to an elegant, energetic finish.
96 Tasting Panel
Herbal undertones of sage and eucalyptus enhance the wine’s plummy aromatics. Blue fruits deepen to purple plum and black cherry, surrounded by black tea tannins. Structure exists within its approachable frame while an earthy mid-palate forecasts a savory finish of dried violets and charred oak.

The 2021 Mencia Ribeira Sacra is a dark red/purple color. In the glass, it reveals notes of dark stones, pepper, wild blackberries, and a wonderful meaty character. In the cellar, it was aged for one year in 500-liter puncheons. Full-bodied, it takes on a Rhône-like character with hearty structure and a long finish.
