Descendientes de J. Palacios Pétalos del Bierzo

Bierzo, Spain

Spain's most celebrated and accessible Mencía — translucent ruby, wild cherry, floral violet, mineral slate, and the freshness that makes Mencía unlike any other Spanish red. Light-bodied yet complex, this is one of Spain's finest value wines and the gateway to Bierzo's remarkable potential.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Galicia's most famous dish and the region's signature red — Mencía's mineral acidity cuts through the octopus's texture; paprika bridges the wine's earthy character; a cross-regional northwestern Spain pairing
• main: The Galician savory pastry and Bierzo Mencía — the wine's mineral freshness and cherry notes complement the tuna filling; salsa verde bridges the herb character
