Product Description

Details

The world-class winekamer Raúl Pérez and the prestigious Galician oenologist Rodrigo Méndez are the producers of Castro Candaz Mencía, a varietal Spanish red wine from DO Ribeira Sacra.

The Mencía grapes were picked by hand, meticulously selected and macerated whole-bunch for 2 months. Then they were fermented and, after the process was completed, the red wine Castro Candaz Mencía 2021 was aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.

This varietal red wine from Ribeira Sacra is a transparent expression of the Mencía variety.

Pair this Galician red wine with pasta, risotto and oily fish recipes.

5,000 bottles produced.
