Description
If you've never heard of Mencia, you are in for a treat! It's northwest Spain's most important red grape, and the star of the show in Bierzo, where Bodegas Adria is located. Fourth-generation owners Margarita and Rocío have carried their family traditions into the present day, focussing their energy on the region's indigenous grape varieties. Their Puerto del Monte is made from fruit from 45-year-old vines, planted on slopes at altitudes ranging from 450-700 meters above sea level. Careful hand harvesting ensures optimal grape health, and after fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel, the wine is aged for a further 2-3 months in a mixture of French and American oak barrels. Drink now or over the next two years, and serve at about 18 C.
