Guímaro Mencía Ribeira Sacra DO

Ribeira Sacra DO, Spain
Estate Mencía from Guímaro's steep granite terraces above the Sil River canyon in Ribeira Sacra. The mica-rich granite soils and cool, shaded microclimate of the river canyon produce Mencía of extraordinary floral intensity and mineral precision — violet, blueberry, and slate dominate, with a freshness and lightness of body that makes this very different from the richer, warmer Bierzo expressions. Guímaro's Mencía captures the pure essence of Ribeira Sacra's heroic viticulture.
