Mencia is the undisputed star of Bierzo with its gentle tannins, bright acidity and lighter style. Stylistically this is a cross between cool-climate Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Although this is the 'entry level' wine from Daniel and Gonzalo at Madai, this is a very characterful wine full of complexity and charm.
A mid-weight Mencia, with gentle but firm tannins balanced by dark cherry and bramble fruit. Fresh acidity drives a decent-length finish and floral and herbal complexity makes this an engaging glass of wine. A wine that benefits from time in decanter, or to open up in the glass.
