About this product
From the ancient hill town of Bembibre, one of Bierzo's most historic wine villages, this single-village Mencía displays the concentrated mineral character of the appellation's finest terroirs: cherry, violet, herbs, and slate with firm structure that rewards 5-8 years of cellaring.
