it captures that sunlit Alsatian balance between ripe fruit and effortless elegance
lifted by citrus zest and a gentle herbaceous note that keeps everything fresh and finely tuned

2021 Gaba do Xil Tinto Mencía, Telmo Rodríguez RiojaAlta A swirl of very fineSlate Bloom This is Galician Menca with freshness, perfume and a lovely wild fruited edge. From Valdeorras, it opens with raspberry, red cherry, blackberry and plum, followed by violet, pepper, dried herbs, earth and a cool stony mineral line. It is bright and aromatic rather than heavy, with that Atlantic Spanish energy that makes Menca so compelling. The palate is juicy, fresh and finely balanced, with red and black fruit carried by lively acidity
