Matilda Nieves Mencia

Made with grapes of the Mencía variety from the D.O. Ribeira Sacra where its vineyards produce this precious treasure. Nice cherry colour with violet trim. It has a spectacular fruit flavour and an original presence of slate mineral and spicy and toasted notes. 

Jancis Robinson - 'It is a wine that I could only describe as impishly delicious. Joyous fruit on the nose, black cherries, elderberries, liquorice and caraway on the palate. It has notes of rose petals and menthol with rosemary-herbal freshness and is full of sweet, juicy acidity. There is also a subtle stony edge to it, which draws out the length and makes it even more mouth-watering. For less than £14, you'd expect a wine to be fun, but not really complex. This is both. It way overdelivers.'
