2021 Mixtura Blue Tinto (Mencia), Castilla y Leon, Spain
$75.00
100% Mencía from a 60-year-old plot in Cacabelos, rooted in pebbly, iron-rich clay. Fermented with native yeasts and whole bunches in small neutral barrels, then aged for a year in a large Austrian oak foudre from Stockinger. Just 3,319 bottles made—and easily one of the most refined, quietly powerful expressions of Mencía we’ve tasted from Bierzo.
