Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of the red wine Algueira Mencía, the entry-level Spanish red wine from bodega Adega Algueira, one of the very first wineries to produce quality wines in DO Ribeira Sacra.
A varietal Mencía, the grapes are sourced from vineyards composed of schist and slate soils and planted on the dizzying slopes of the Sil river canyon. The climate combines both Atlantic and Mediterranean elements.
Hand-harvested and fully destemmed, the grapes were first cold-macerated in stainless steel tanks. After that, this red wine from Ribeira Sacra was fermented under controlled temperature.
Finally, the wine Algueira Mencía 2024 was clarified and stabilized before bottling.
Pair this young red wine with rice dishes, white meat and oily fish recipes.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Algueira Mencía is pale purple with a maroon rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This is a transparent expression of the Mencía variety. Sour cherries and raspberries, with dim mineral notes, a dash of bitter herbs, and some balsamic and zesty intimations. Charming. |
| Palate | This wine from Adega Algueira is crisp, energetic and supple. Alcohol passes almost unnoticed, acidity is excellent and tannins are lively. Long finish with a mineral and berryish aftertaste. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Algueira Mencía 2024 is a red for all seasons. |
